That was exactly my question (even though I forgot the "="sign). However, I am 
not able to get that to work for reason. I'm trying to set the 
CDR(accountcode) on the first leg of the call and am using Channel: Local/...

I am able to get it to work if I use "Variable: var1=12345" then, use 
CDR(accountcode)=${var1} in the dialplan, but I was hoping to avoid this 
hack.
