[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] style - pattern - Mapserver 5

[Sven Schroeter]

Hallo list,
till Mapserver 4.10 the style parameter in a symbol definition has been used 
to store dash patterns like the example below (railway). Now in version 5.0 
it is recommend change STYLE to PATTERN, but regardless of which parameter 
there is no effect. Neither STYLE nor PATTERN produces a distance.

SYMBOL
   NAME 'punkt'
           TYPE ELLIPSE
           POINTS
       1 1
   END
           FILLED TRUE
END

SYMBOL
   NAME 'rechteck-bahn'
   TYPE VECTOR
   POINTS
       0 0
       0 0.6
       1 0.6
       1 0
       0 0
   END
   FILLED TRUE
   STYLE
       8 12 8 12
   END
END

any idea?
thanx
Sven
