No... You are attempting to read application.dteToday without a lock...
Try this:
<cflock name="lcdc" type="READONLY" timeout="5">
<cfif NOT IsDefined("application.dteToday")>
<CFSET InitdteToday = 1 >
</cfif>
</CFLOCK>
<CFIF IsDefined('InitdteToday')>
<cflock name="lcdc" type="EXCLUSIVE" timeout="5">
<cfset application.dteToday = #CreateODBCDate(Now())#>
</cflock>
</CFIF>
You could also consider an application-wide solution such as copying your
aplication scope into the request scope in the application.cfm file. Beware
though, that this metod may degrade performance on heavy traffic sites...
