You're mixing an xml tag with a scriplet, which is not allowed. Try this instead:
<% String newDate = new String(); newDate = lineItem.getDate(); %> Or better: <% String newDate = lineItem.getDate(); %> -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Eric Cho Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 3:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: what's wrong with this piece of code Hi all, need a hand....I'm getting errors of : .........java:751: String not terminated at end of line. newDate = " ^ .........java:757: String not terminated at end of line.
