Hello Everybody, in past times I used macros but since a while they are deprecated. So I replaced my macros with subroutines. In most cases this is really no problem. But in some rare cases I miss the macro channel variables (e.g. ${MACRO_CONTEXT}). https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Dialplan+Macros+Channel+Variables Is there something similar for subroutines? Kind regards Bastian -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Is there something similar for subroutines?

Due to the nature of GoSub() vs. Macro() there is no built in channel variable which carries
that information with a GoSub(). Devs keep me honest here.

If the subroutine needs to know what part of dialplan the channel came from I recommend
sending the information as an ARG in the nested set of parenthesis when executing the
GoSub() application.

exten => _7XXX,1,GoSub(subDialer,begin,1(${CONTEXT}))

[subDialer]
exten => begin,1,Verbose(0, This subroutine was executed from the ${ARG1} context.)
