[asterisk-users] vars in Macros called by DIAL with option M

[Ruddy Gbaguidi]

I don't think you can do that because, asterisk, in the caller thread 
will only read MACRO_RESULT to know if he has to connect the call or not.
A workaround will be to :
1. before the dial, add a row in a database table and retrieve an  id
2. pass the id to test_connect and test_connect will then write his 
variable value into the database
3. after the dial,. use the id to retrieve the needed variable.

Hope this will help.
