We just need to pad the value appropriately. What are the un-used
digits set to? 0xff or something?

I just checked. ANI requires a minimum of 3 digits. The unused digits are set to 0xff
The 15 PTT IDs can all be set to null and the unused digits are also set to 0xff

Tom's suggestion of revising the structure works great. I should have realized that from looking at the structure for the alpha tags. :(
