You ALWAYS use the extension "s" in a macro.

[macro_test]
exten => s,1,ExecIF($["${RECORDOUTBOUND}"="TRUE"],Monitor,wav|${TIMESTAMP}-${CALLERID(num)}-${MACRO_EXTEN}-${UNIQUEID}.WAV)
exten => s,n,ExecIF($[${LEN(${CALLERID(num)})}=4],Set,CALLERID(number)=${PSTN_GLOBAL}${CALLERID(num):-2})
exten => s,n(dial),Dial(${TRUNK}/${MACRO_EXTEN},,W)
exten => s,n,Congestion
exten => s,n,Goto(outgoing-zen-out-0,${MACRO_EXTEN},1)
exten => s,dial+101,Busy
exten => s,n,Goto(outgoing-zen-out-0,${MACRO_EXTEN},1)

Now, if you make, in the context you want the extensions in, these:

exten => _0.,1,Macro(test)
exten => _**777.,1,Macro(test)

... it will achieve what you want - MACRO_EXTEN will contain the actual
matched number.
