[asterisk-users] Passing an argument to a macro within an Originate command

[Bruce Hopkins]

Hi,

With Asterisk 1.8.3, I can't figure out how to pass an argument to a macro
which is used within an originate command.
Here is my sample dialplan to illustrate:

exten => 123,1,Answer()
exten => 123,n,Originate(SIP/20,app,Macro,foo,bar)
exten => 123,n,NoOp(This is the NoOp after the originate command)
exten => 123,n,Wait(30)
exten => 123,n,Hangup()

[macro-foo]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,NoOp(arg1 is ${ARG1} and arg2 is ${ARG2})
exten => s,3,Playback(tt-monkeys)

I was hoping the ${ARG1} within the macro would be 'bar', but the argument
does not seem to be passed on to the macro so far as I can tell.
Here is the CLI output:

pbx*CLI>
  == Using SIP RTP TOS bits 184
  == Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5
    -- Executing [123 at from-internal:1] Answer("SIP/21-0000000c", "") in new

"SIP/20,app,Macro,foo,bar") in new stack

    -- Executing [h at from-internal:1] Macro("SIP/21-0000000c", "hangupcall")
in new stack
    -- Executing [s at macro-hangupcall:1] GotoIf("SIP/21-0000000c",
"1?skiprg") in new stack
    -- Goto (macro-hangupcall,s,4)
    -- Executing [s at macro-hangupcall:4] GotoIf("SIP/21-0000000c",
"1?skipblkvm") in new stack
    -- Goto (macro-hangupcall,s,7)
    -- Executing [s at macro-hangupcall:7] GotoIf("SIP/21-0000000c",
"1?theend") in new stack
    -- Goto (macro-hangupcall,s,9)
    -- Executing [s at macro-hangupcall:9] Hangup("SIP/21-0000000c", "") in new
stack
  == Spawn extension (macro-hangupcall, s, 9) exited non-zero on
'SIP/21-0000000c' in macro 'hangupcall'
  == Spawn extension (from-internal, h, 1) exited non-zero on
'SIP/21-0000000c'

Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance anyone is able to offer.

Best regards
