PArt of asking an effective question is to state why you are at that
problem. It may well be that you are going the wrong way about solving
the bigger problem.

Short answer to you would be to use the ast_db functions and then use
the dbget dialplan logic to get at the variable. It has the benefit of
being persistent over asterisk restarts or reboots.
