You're not missing anything, I think.
Root cause of this thread is that when I'm giving IMPORT function a Local
channel as first argument (and I agree with you saying this Local channel
value is generated dynamically), I've got an empty reply though requested
variable appears (with a non-empty value) in DumpChan's output.

When I tried to understand why the same function call works with SIP
channels and does work with Local, I wondered if this could come from the
fact a dynamically generated Local channel name includes a semi colon.
No experience I did backed this assumption ("root cause is semi-colon").

So this question remains :
- Has someone been successfull in using IMPORT on a Local channel ? Is there
a known limitation in doing so ?
