Discussion

OT GetObject gets an object value in object from the item referenced by inTag. If this routine successfully returns a new object, the new object handle is added to the ObjectTools handle list.

If the object is not a valid object handle, an error is generated, OK is set to zero, and a null object handle (0) is returned.

If no item in the object has the given tag, a null object handle is returned.

If an item with the given tag exists and has the type OT Is Object (114), its contents are returned as a new object.

If an item with the given tag exists and has any other type, an error is generated, OK is set to zero, and a null object handle is returned.

Warning This method creates and returns a new object in memory. You are responsible for clearing it when you no longer need it by calling OT IsObject .
