First lets get rid of the parameter substitution to make sure we have a
syntax correct. So in your mapfile try:
EXPRESSION ([IncidentDa] > 20100816)
I set this to Aug 16th to see if you can pull any records. Also because
this is numeric, I removed the quotes. You can also try it with quotes
to see what works.
If this works then try:
EXPRESSION ([IncidentDa] > %LASTTWOWEEKS%)
Again without the quotes or with depending on what worked.

I thank you for your response....greatly appreciated as I cannot figure
this out....
I know that I have 4 features in the dataset that have a value of
20100916 that’s 13 days ago....so with the expression below those 4 or 5
features should show up....but nothing shows up
IncidentDa is the field (long integer)
Param type is specifying YYYYMMDD my data has values of 20100916 (13 days)
I have no idea what could be wrong…Thank you all for your help….

BUT if I simply place this in there I get all the points…so something is
weird here because most of the dates are older than 7 days.
CLASS

EXPRESSION ('[IncidentDa]' > '%LASTWEEK%’)

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Expressions
In EXPRESSIONS you can evaluate any of the following:
1. Regular expressions treating the value as a string
2. numeric expressions using booleans like ==,<,>,<=,>=
3. string expressions like ==, !=, and I think strlen()
So if you converted you dates into a format like YYYYMMDD then it would
be easy to use a numeric expression like:
EXPRESSION ('[dateValues]' > '%STARTDATE%' && '[dateValues]' < '%ENDDATE%')
or
EXPRESSION ('[dateValues]' > '%STARTDATE%')
where STARTDATE is the YYYYMMDD value of two weeks ago and ENDDATE would
be in the same format and allow you to extract record betwee any two
start and end dates.
Or you might be able to figure out a complex regular expression the
represents the last two weeks like:
EXPRESSION ('[dateValues]' =~ '/%LASTTWOWEEKS%/')
I'm not sure what you would need for the regular expression.
