I'm not sure that would be a viable solution, the ResetCDR(w) app+option 
is only going to write the cdr and then zero it out, but the next time 
the write occurs wouldn't it just overwrite the existing record?

I believe that ForkCDR is the solution:


  ForkCDR


    Synopsis

Forks the Call Data Record

 ForkCDR()

Causes the Call Data Record to fork an additional cdr record starting 
from the time of the fork call.


    Description

Fork The CDR into 2 separate entities.
