[asterisk-users] Problems passing variables from a macro

[Tobias Ahlander]

Good day,

I'm using a dial string as follows:
Dial(SIP/${phonenumber},30,grM(screen^${pin})L(${300000}[:60000]));
When I set a variable in the macro screen, it doesn't get passed back to the
extension from where the dial was called. I can always put the result in the
MySQL database, but that feels a bit overkill... the macro looks as follows:


macro screen (arg1) {

  Wait(0.2);
  Read(acceptcall|sounds/pin|7);
  if(${acceptcall} = ${arg1}) {
    NoOp(connect them);
    wrongpin=0;
  } else {
    Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE);
    wrongpin=1;
  }
  NoOp(MACRO_RESULT = ${MACRO_RESULT});

}

This is the output from the CLI, and I can see that the wrongpin is set to
1, but when I do a NoOp right after leaving the macro, it says its empty...

    -- Executing [s at connect:36] Dial("SIP/1003-b7619b78",

= CONTINUE") in new stack
    -- Executing [s at connect:37] NoOp("SIP/1003-b7619b78",
"DIALSTATUS:ANSWER") in new stack
    -- Executing [s at connect:38] NoOp("SIP/1003-b7619b78", "wrongpin=") in
new stack

Is there a good way to pass this variable back to the context "connect"?

Thanks,
Best regards,
Tobias
