[asterisk-users] Possible Bug (Include ${HANGUPCAUSE} in CDR)

[Bryant Zimmerman]

This does not make any sense. In the voip-info posting for the "h" 
extension it specifically states that to handle "h" while in a macro that 
the macro needs an "h" extension.  The "h" extension runs inside the macro 
but the CDR data is not being updated correctly. Also the rc-ANSWER entry 
in the macro does not update the CDR with the ${HANGUPCAUSE} either after 
the far end hangs up. This is diffently inconsistent behavior here.  Both 
the DIAL and "h" extension are inside the macro so the behaivior should be 
consistent.  If I am understanding you correctly the only way we can get a 
CDR to update after a dial is to not do any DIAL calls in a MACRO is this 
what you are saying? Otherwise your logic may be flawed or we have a very 
big logic bug in the Asterisk Macro system.

From: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+h+extension
    Be aware: Macros require their own h extension as they do not make use 
of the calling context's h extension! 

Tilghamn thanks for the feed back the back and forth here is great and 
helps a lot it is giving me more ideas to test against.

There's the problem. The "h" extension should be in whatever context is
calling the Macro, not in the Macro context itself.
