[Asterisk-Users] Dial() Jumping behaviour and Vesrsion 1.2

[bbench at mail.bg]

see inline
> The version 1.2  Dial() command does not use the n+101 jumping

No but is good idea 
> For example I used to do this:
>
> exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@2123456789,20,t)
> exten => s,2,Voicemail(u${EXTEN})
> exten => s,3,Goto(s,200)
> ;
> exten => s,102,Voicemail(b${EXTEN})
> exten => s,103,Goto(s,200)
> ;
> exten => s,200,Playback(CallAgainRealSoon)
> exten => s,201,Hangup
> ;
> exten => h,1,Hangup
>
> So in 1.2 would I do the following or am I missing something?

No but is good idea 
or you can use "n" instead of "s"
or 
exten => 1234,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@2123456789,20,t)
exten => 1234,n,Voicemail(u${EXTEN)
exten => 1234,dial+101,Voicemail(b${EXTEN})
or even better use a macro (since your way is very close to that)
(see below)

> exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@2123456789,20,t)
> exten => s,2,GotoIf($["${DIALSTATUS }" = "BUSY"]?10)
> exten => s,3,GotoIf($["${DIALSTATUS }" = "NOANSWER"]?20)
> ;
> exten => s,10,Voicemail(b${EXTEN})
> exten => s,11,Goto(s,100)
> ;
> exten => s,20,Voicemail(u${EXTEN})
> exten => s,21,Goto(s,100)
> ;
> exten => s,100,Playback(CallAgainRealSoon)
> exten => s,101,Hangup
> ;
> exten => h,1,Hangup

exten =>1234,1,Macro(stdexten,${EXTEN},SIP/${EXTEN},20,t)

[macro-stdexten]; straight from   the extensionsconf sample
;;   ${ARG1} - Extension  (we could have used ${MACRO_EXTEN} here as well
;;   ${ARG2} - Device(s) to ring

;exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG2},20)		; Ring the interface, 20 seconds maximum
;exten => s,2,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)	; Jump based on 
status(NOANSWER,BUSY,CHANUNAVAIL,CONGESTION,ANSWER)
;
;exten => s-NOANSWER,1,Voicemail(u${ARG1})	; If unavailable, send to voicemail 
w/ unavail announce
;exten => s-NOANSWER,2,Goto(s,1)		; If they press #, return to start
;exten => s-BUSY,1,Voicemail(b${ARG1})	; If busy, send to voicemail w/ busy 
announce
;exten => s-BUSY,2,Goto(s,1)		; If they press #, return to start
;
;exten => _s-.,1,Goto(s-NOANSWER,1)		; Treat anything else as no answer
;exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(${ARG1})
