If you want to maintain scope for a variable across multiple calls you
should maintain the value of that variable outside of asterisk and
keep setting it for each new phonecall. Global variables in asterisk
do not do what you are describing.

AMI does have something where you can name a particular AMI session,
and then communication for that session will care that name. That
should not be confused with a system-wide global variable.
