Ah ok I was looking at the mapfile. Passing &YEAR=1976 in from the command line
should work fine.
Maybe the value is being treated as a string, so you could test if the
following worked (equals rather than less than):
EXPRESSION ("[year]" = "%year%")
Also maybe try with a different parameter name e.g. MYYEAR just in case YEAR is
treated differently as it is used for various OGC services.
