I would like to be able to capture the prompted DTMF digits pressed by callers, to my CDR database but I don't see any AGI or Asterisk commands that allow one to customize the CDR contents.  Am I thinking about this on the wrong track?  If someone calls sales for instance, and presses 44364 for their PO number when prompted, I just want to have a text record of the digits they pressed in my CDR so I can easily view it.  No trying to do database lookups or screen pops from it or anything fancy, I'm trying to eat an elephant one bite at a time.  Anyone have a solution for that?

What language are you using with AGI?  If for example you use PHP, the
digits the user presses are recorded in the array returned by
get_data.

For example:

$theButtons = $agi->get_data('beep', 10000, 3);

$theButtons['result'] will record the 3 digits the user pressed and
wait up to 10 seconds in between each button pressed.
