[asterisk-dev] Local channel origination issue.

[Yaroslav Panych]

Thank you, very much. I had suspicions I missed something trivial.

Have another Local channel related question/issue.
My original origination command is
action:originate
channel:local/listener-SOME_ID at vsm-context/n
context:vsm-context
exten:record
priority:1
async:true
codecs:alaw
timeout:10
variable:ordernum=SOME_ID
variable:vsmfile=FILENAME

where SOME_ID and FILENAME are replaced by real value. Now, when
action works, I expecting to have initialised variables in record leg
of channel, but I there is no variables I expected, so my dialplan
completely fails its task. When calling to real device(e.g SIP) all
variables are initialised as expected. Where is caveat? Asterisk
1.8.4.4
