[Synopsis]:
  Goto a particular priority, extension, or context

[Description]:
  Goto([[context|]extension|]priority):  Set the  priority to the specified
value, optionally setting the extension and optionally the context as well.
The extension BYEXTENSION is special in that it uses the current extension,
thus  permitting  you  to go to a different  context, without  specifying a
specific extension. Always returns 0, even if the given context, extension,
or priority is invalid.

Looks like the priority is a mandatory argument, then extension and last context.  I expect you'll need all three.
                                                                 ^

yes

See above.

I expect the expression evaluated to "0" because OFFICEHOURS was not set.  So
Set Global to a default value as above.
