Verification and Data Retrieval Functions

There are two types of object information functions, verification functions and date retrieval functions. Neither type can be recorded, but you can add them to enhance the script.

Verification functions typically return a True or False status.

Some verification functions check successful completion execution of a previous function. Some check object status.

You can avoid script crashes by using these functions to check if necessary conditions exist before calling a function.

Data retrieval functions retrieve the value of an object attribute and store the value in the output parameter.
