I don't use dtml ... But the cookbook I mailed in my previous post has
this syntax:
<li> strftime(%Y/%m/%d) --> <dtml-var
expr="e.strftime('%Y/%m/%d')"></li><br>

I would say you are missing expr="" so your code should probably look
like

<small><dtml-var expr="LG_DATA.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')"></small>

I use zpt and my code is way different it looks like:
<td tal:content="python:rowdata.datetime.strftime('%d/%m/%Y
%X')">datetime</td> 

I don't know that I can be of much more help unfortunately.
