I'm not sure what you mean by "changes from context to context". The answer
time on a CDR is reflective of when the channel was answered. That can be
altered if you choose to alter it in the dialplan via ForkCDR, but
generally, that time is conveyed from one CDR to another.

A specific example would help here.

I don't know what you mean here either. What version of Asterisk are you
using? Can you provide an example where you get said literal back, as well
as the dialplan that produces this behavior?
