[erlang-questions] erlang diameter dictionary

Hi Anders,
I found the reason why the diameter library won't parse the avp with code
1023.
Since the message pattern is avp_name(Code, Vid),
After I manually modified the generated dictionary erlang source file by
setting the Vid then it can match the pattern and parse.
However, I don't get why the diameterc utility doesn't fill this Vid field
while compiling a dictionary.
In the dictionary, I define @vendor 10415 IETF.
But why the Vid set as undefined like this in the generated erl file:
avp_name(1023, undefined) ->
Can you give me some suggestions how to set this properly in a dictionary
file to get the proper avp pattern? Or the diameter library document has
the steps.
Thanks a lot!
Samuel
