return = objectName._getData( );

Details

The _getData method is a convenient method for getting the numeric or character value of an object. You must pass in assignable values (variables or array element references) for numVar or charVar.

The default behavior is to call the object's _getText method if the requested value is character; it calls _getValue if the requested value is numeric. Some objects override these methods to provide custom behavior.
