  Note that is "integer".  i.e. 4 octets.

  That should all work.

  i.e. 2 octets.  You're getting that value because the attribute in the packet is malformed.  Change the dictionary to use type "short", or fix the NAS so that it sends the correct format.

  The NAS needs to send the attribute in the format specified by the dictionary.  If the two disagree, you'll see "Attr-..." instead of "3GPP2-..."
