Hi Ryan, thanks for your comment.

Unfortunately the 'Variable' parameter is used to push data between the originating script and the dialplan, not commands.
Example:
Variable: var1=23|var2=24|var3=25

Additionally, this data can be used in the dialplan only when the call gets answered or when it fails.
I can't find a way to inject the parameter DURING (or before) the call.


Thank you very much for supporting,
Mike
