Retrieves a low level pointer to a variable.
OutputVar := GetVar(VarName , ResolveAlias)Function Example: varptr := GetVar(MyVar)
The name of variable in which to store pointer to desired variable.
The name of the variable.
1 / true to receive pointer to primary variable, FALSE / NULL / 0 to receive pointer to desired variable even if it is alias for another variable.
