sm_intvalreturns the integer value of the data contained in the specified field, including its sign. All other punctuation characters are ignored. Ifsm_intvalcannot find the field, it returns with 0. Because a field can contain a value of 0, you should use another method to check whether the field exists.

int sequence;
sequence = sm_n_intval("sequence");
