[Asterisk-Users] RE: Explicit Dialplan Exit

[Douglas Garstang]

Eh, I'm thinking I don't like labels very much. They aren't all they are cracked up to be.
 
Previously, using extensions of the format extension-function, like 2944000-open or 2944000-closed for example, I could break up an extension into logical units based on function, and it made sense. By exclusively using labels, everthing is in the one extension and it isn't as easy to read at a glance. There's also the chance that statements from one section could over-run into another.
 
or... am I missing something?

Subject: Explicit Dialplan Exit


So, I've kind of converted my dialplan from:
 
exten => custcare,1,GotoIfTime(8:00-17:00|mon-fri|*|*?acd_one_queue,custcare-open,1)
exten => custcare,2,Goto(custcare-closed,1)
 
exten => custcare-open,1....

exten => custcare-open,99....
 

exten => custcare-closed,1....

exten => custcare-closed,99....
 
to:
 

exten => custcare,1,GotoIfTime(8:00-17:00|mon-fri|*|*?custcare_open)
exten => custcare,n,Goto(custcare-closed,1)
 
exten => custcare,n(open_start),...
exten => custcare,n...
 

exten => custcare,n(closed_start)...

exten => custcare,n...
 
I don't like having those final statements in each block. Previously, execution would implicitly end because there was no priorities left in each extension. Now however, everything is in one extension and I can't be sure that execution will not continue at the end of a section (open,closed etc). Is there some sort of explicit dialplan command that stops execution and immediately ends the dialplan? Something like MacroExit() in a macro.... Can't see it in the docs.
 
Doug.
