Empty string or -2. PageMaker returns an empty string for fFilename, sKind, sModTime, and sInternalDateMod and -2 for cLinkTech and nSize if you select:

No object or the text tool is active.
More than one object.
An unlinked object (such as a text block or object drawn in PageMaker).

Date string formats. The format of the date strings (sPlacedTime, sModTime, sInternalDateMod) matches the format displayed in the Link Info dialog box. The format depends upon the language version of the system, not the lan guage version of PageMaker. In Windows, PageMaker obtains the format from the win.inifile. On the Macintosh, PageMaker reads the format from the international resource (INTL, ID=0) in the system. For example, when running under a Macintosh US English system, any language version of PageMaker returns the date and time in this format: 9/19/91, 11:30 AM.
