OBJ_DATA
This command is probably one of the most used and versatile in the language.
It is essentially used to retrieve data from an object but it can do a lot more.
It's most common use might be something like {OBJ_DATA(0, C1)} which is requesting Character Data 1 (the object title) from the current object. {OBJ_DATA(0, C2)} would therefore be requesting Character Data 2 from the current object. See this help page for the other part numbers you can use in this command.
You can also retrieve XML values. So for the tag "first_name", you would use the code {OBJ_DATA(0, first_name)}. You can aslo retreive multiple XML values at the same time using {OBJ_DATA(0, first_name last_name)}.
