[asterisk-users] Right timing for a queue call

Thanks for your answer.
It didn't seem to work for me, as I already tried it.

Before calling the Queue app I set a variable to uniqueid, and then in the
context called from the Queue app I tried accessing it and it doesn't work.

I don't have the code right here (I'm at home), but it was something like

queues.conf

[somequeue]
member => Local/211 at somecontext
...
..

extensions.conf

[queue-caller]
exten => s,1,Set(TEST=a)
exten => s,n,Queue(various args)

[somecontext]
exten => 211,1,NoOP(${TEST})
exten => 211,n,Dial(SIP/211)

And then NoOp prints nothing.

Maybe I made some mistakes in the syntax (it's 2 AM here, and I'm just back
home), but I think that the concept is right.

Is this the same kind of setup that you have? Does it work for you?
Can you post some simplified working code?

Thanks in advance! :)
