[asterisk-users] Problems passing variables from a macro

[Rizwan Hisham]

I haven't used ael but in extension.conf whenever we set a channel variable
we use a SET command just like you used it to set the variable MACRO_RESULT.
try using the set command, if still it does not work then try to initialize
the wrongpin=0 before the dial command, or outside the macro.
