Working with asterisk 1.4; using the AMI Originate command, it is possible to
do something like:

Variable: CDR(accountcode)123456

Or must the variable names be "var[n]" where n is a number?

I'd like to set the accountcode for a Local channel that originates a call.

Thanks. -A

Anthony,

I may not understand your question, but setting variables from the AMI is easy
enough:

Action: Originate
Channel: local/${DEV_NAME}@Management
Context: to_meetme
Exten: s
Priority: 1
Variable: CALLERID(num)=${DEV_NAME}|CALLERID(name)=Conference Waiting
Async: true

Warm Regards,

Anthony,

easy enough:

Action: Originate
Channel: local/${DEV_NAME}@Management
Context: to_meetme
Exten: s
Priority: 1
Variable: CALLERID(num)=${DEV_NAME}|CALLERID(name)=Conference Waiting
Async: true

That was exactly my question (even though I forgot the "="sign). However, I am
not able to get that to work for reason. I'm trying to set the
CDR(accountcode) on the first leg of the call and am using Channel: Local/...

I am able to get it to work if I use "Variable: var1=12345" then, use
CDR(accountcode)=${var1} in the dialplan, but I was hoping to avoid this
hack.

Not sure what could be the reason, maybe something in the cdr stuff and call
origination maybe?

why not just add

Account: 12345

to the originate?

(side note: you can also have multiple Variable: lines (some versions of
asterisk have issue with the | from what i hear)

so the above would look like

...

Variable: CALLERID(num)=${DEV_NAME}
Variable: CALLERID(name)=Conference Waiting

those are bad examples as you should just use CallerID:

Callerid: Conference Waiting <DEVNUMBER>

i hope this helps.

that does work like a charm--it sets the accountcode, except that, for some
reason, i can't access the CDR(accountcode) value during call time.

i CAN see it in channel variables, etc. but ${CDR(accountcode)} evaluates to
nothing--it's blank. it even show up in the CDR after the call is over.

This definitely sounds like a bug to me -- would you mind creating a bug
report on the bug tracker (http://bugs.digium.com) so that the
developers can take a look at it? Thanks!
