Knowing the exten variable of the original dialplan is not a problem. The problem is just when the call is transferred via blind transfer. Asterisk does a little magic with the callerid of the legs and using Macro, just breaks it.<div>
<br></div><div>If Joe at ext 100 call Sally at ext 200 and then Joe transfers the call to Bob at ext 300, then Bob will see the callerid 200 on his phone. That is not true if the dial is made inside a Macro. In this way, Bob will see ~~~~s~~~~</div>
<div><br></div><div>The macro can be something as simple as:</div><div><br></div><div>macro dialpeer(number) {</div><div> dial(SIP/number);</div><div>}</div><div><br></div><div>Leandro<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/2/24 Mitul Limbani <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mitul@enterux.in" target="_blank">mitul@enterux.in</a>></span><br>

<p>You might want to use ${MACRO_EXTEN} variable inside to preserve exten variable of the original dialplan exten variable.</p>

I just discover an "hidden" problem with AEL macro I want to have your feedback. If you use a macro to dial out, like &dialout(${EXTEN}), the leg extension will became ~~~~s~~~~ and if it happens you transfer the call, that will be the callerid appearing on the other phone display.<div>
I am just rewriting all the dialplan getting rid of the macro and using gosub, even if asterisk is complaining about "application call to gosub affects flow of control, and needs to be re-written using AEL if, while, goto, etc. keywords instead!", but I am not seeing any other way...</div>
