Well, it wasn't the quotes, it wasn't you can't set CALLERID(name) in a 
subroutine, it's that the parser doesn't allow/get confused by/ space 
around the assignment.

  Set(CALLERID(name)=Fred)  works

but neither

Set(CALLERID(name) = Fred)

nor

Set(CALLERID(name) =Fred)

works.

BTW, quotes don't make a difference.

And the parser doesn't complain, or make an assignment to null. There's 
just no assignment despite what the CLI shows.

In any event, thanks for the lead, and when I get the time, I'm 
switching to your script.
