Assuming the volume you want is listed as the closing "price" of the volume
data, you probably want:

Function OBVforData2

if currentbar > 0 then begin
   if Close[0] > Close[1] then
      OBVforData2 = OBVforData2[1] + Close of Data2
   else if Close[0] < Close[1] then
      OBVforData2 = OBVforData2[1] - Close of Data2
   else
      OBVforData2 = OBVforData2[1];
end else
      OBVforData2=0;
