[asterisk-users] Variable to show caller id for a current call?

[Warren (mailing lists)]

But how do you get that with GetVar?  I am trying to do this through the 
API.  I tried:
Action: GetVar
Variable CALLERID(227)

and I tries:
Action: GetVar
Variable ${CALLERID(227)}

Neither returned anything.

How can I do this?  Alternately... Is there a way to have a program 
fired off when an extension rings that will have the caller id passed to 
it as part of the call?
