Sending signed values problem

Hello,

I'm currently struggling with a data problem.

I have a system where i have to SET a value, the value is of type Integer (-32768.32767).

When sending a value over 255 i have no problem with sign, if i scan with wireshark i see a transmission of ASN type 2(Integer) with 2 bytes of data, and the data is correctly sent with sign.

But whenever i try to send a value that is less that 256, therefore fits in a byte, the transmission is still of type 2, but it sends out one single byte of data, thus cutting out the range from -129 to -255 and from +128 to +255.

I would have thought that since the OID is of type Integer (explicitly 16bit) the data would still have been sent as 2bytes.

I tried looking for a way of forcing 2 byte data send, but with no luck. Am i missing something?

Thanks,

Fabrizio
