First, it doesn't do what your explanation says it does.

Second, why would you want to? Any savings in execution time will be 
insignificant and it will obscure the intent and "readability" of the 
code.

FYI, my 2.6GHz P4 executes about 3,000 CALLERID(num) assignments per 
second.

Thanks in advance,
