<c:set var='sToday' value = '05/18/2005' />
<c:forEach var="Row" items="${bindings.Transact
<c:if test="${Row['EffectiveDate
<c:out value="${Row['ExternalTran
Try to keep using JSTL rather than scriptlets as that is one of the points of using custom tags.
Simplest thing to do would be to put the variable in the pageContext or separate the c:set
E.g.
<%
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date today = new Date();
String sToday = df.format(today);
%>
Then do one of:
<%
pageContext.setAttribute("
%>
or
<c:set var='sToday '><%= sToday %></c:set>
<c:forEach var="Row" items="${bindings.Transact
<c:if test="${Row['EffectiveDate
<c:out value="${Row['ExternalTran
Else you could use the c_rt library and do a direct import in a c:set

instead of doing
<% sToday = "05/18/2005"; %>
<c:if test="${Row['EffectiveDate
do
<c:if test="${Row['EffectiveDate
