[asterisk-dev] why is src field in Master.csv showing the outgoing callerid ?

i'm well aware of that. it was the local extension (6262 in this case) i 
was talking about. setting CALLERID(num)=0088 would replace the local 
extension number. i've since found out that in ast_cdr_setcid() in cdr.c, 
the src field is set to cid_ani if it's not null, and cid_num if cid_ani is 
null.

thus a diaplan like the following achieves what i needed to see in the 
Master.csv file:

Set(CALLERID(ani)=${CALLERID(num)})
Set(CALLERID(num)=0088)

well, if someone is setting CALLERID(num) before sending a call out the 
PRI, perhaps a little note somewhere that this will also muck up the src 
field in master.csv unless ANI is also set would be good. sure would save 
folk some grief.

i'm well aware of that, i was just using that as a pointer within the email.
