Firstly, you've got two "1" steps in that.  Unless you are doing something 
complicated with GOTOs  (and if you are, then there's probably a better way 
of doing it),  use "1" for the first step and "n"  (next)  for all subsequent 
steps.

If nothing else, it means you can add extra NoOp() statements to put debugging 
information on the console, and later comment out or remove them without 
forced renumbering  (which brings its own opportunities to introduce errors).


Secondly, you're setting ${Dest} to "2" followed by the last 2 digits of the 
dialled number.  But what you really want is "50" followed by the last 2 
digits of the dialled number.  So it should be

exten => _45789XX,n,Set(Dest=50{EXTEN:-2})
