Charles, I can't remember in which version the validation requirement was added, but take a look at this page: http://mapserver.org/cgi/runsub.html
You may need to add a validation property to your layer.

We're passing the field name to be used in the CLASSes in the URL as a variable (%dmmethod%): CLASSITEM '%dmmethod%' FILTER ('[type]'='County') STATUS on CLASS NAME 'No Drought' EXPRESSION ('[%dmmethod%]'='-1') STYLE COLOR 255 255 255 OUTLINECOLOR 20 20 20 END END This used to work in previous versions. There are 6 different fields that could be searched, for 6 possible values. I'd really like to avoid creating 36 classes for each layer that uses this attribute table. I am including dmmethod in a validation block in each layer trying to use this variable. Mapserver version is 6.0.3 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
