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

[Al Baker]

I would suggest putting a NOOP    In the MACRO to ensure the variable IS 
actually getting SET.
As I understand it VARIABLES are GLOBAL and what you are doing is 
correct, BUT, This could be a learning opportunity for me too.

Be advised, there seems to be push by DIGIUM for folks to use the 
"subroutine" rather than MACROS now....
Hmmmm, Can the Dial command CALL a SUBROTINE as it does a MACRO ???
