adding new entry in dictionar

[Juan Pablo L.]

Alex, thank you very  much, changing to short worked, even though i do not understand something,
the standard states that the field is 4 octets, i  supposed that includes the headers of the field +  the value of the field. 
... i did notice the value had 2 octets but went by my intepretation
of the standard (4 octets for the value). 

thanks a lot it is working all good now.
