But you said it was a 64-bit unsigned integer:

 { "Error code", "s7comm-plus.returnvalue.errorcode", FT_UINT64, BASE_HEX, NULL, 0x000000000000ffff,
   NULL, HFILL }},

Try saying it's a 16-bit signed integer - FT_INT16 - instead.

Note, however, that we don't support showing negative octal or hex values; if you want it to show up as a signed value, display it with BASE_DEC or BASE_HEX_DEC.
