Why don't you just do that in one line?

And this?

Use Set.

I'm not sure what would actually be getting set here.  CALLERID() is a 
function, not a variable (which you use the _s for).

Set(CALLERID(name)=${ANI})
Set(CALLERID(num)=${ANI)} num, not number.

You need to do NoOp(${CALLERID(all)}) or CALLERID(num) or CALLERID(name) 
or something.  'show function CALLERID'.

Use Set instead of SetVar.  You can probably get rid of this line anyway 
by setting the variable in your AGI itself to __ActiveCallID.
