[Synopsis]:
Set CallerID Number

[Description]:
  SetCIDNum(cnum[|a]): Set Caller*ID Number on a call to a new
value, while preserving the original Caller*ID name.  This is
useful for providing additional information to the called
party. Sets ANI as well if a flag is used.  Always returns 0

Usage:  SetCIDNum(91${CALLERIDNUM})
