[asterisk-users] Continuing after a TIMEOUT(absolute)

[Brendan Sterne]

Greetings,

I'm trying to continue to do some processing after a TIMEOUT 
(absolute).  In my dialplan below, when a call comes in to [default],  
I call macro-phonenum and pass it a timeout of 20 seconds.  macro- 
phonenum sets TIMEOUT(absolute), then loops saying the phone number  
that was called (in MACRO_EXTEN).  When the timeout expires I want to  
call my macro-hangup (so it can say "goodbye" or whatever).  But the  
system is just hanging up.  The dialplan and log output is below.  Any  
info is appreciated.  This is on version 1.6.0.5.



[macro-answer-and-join]
exten => s,1,NoOp()
exten => s,n,Answer()
exten => s,n,Wait(4)
exten => s,n,SendDTMF(1)
exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten => s,n,SendDTMF(1)
exten => s,n,MacroExit

[macro-hangup]
exten => s,1,NoOp()
exten => s,n,Playback(goodbye)
exten => s,n,Hangup()
;
exten => T,1,NoOp()
exten => T,n,Playback(goodbye)
exten => T,n,Hangup()

[macro-phonenum]
exten => s,1,NoOp()
exten => s,n,Macro(answer-and-join)
exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=${ARG1})
exten => s,n,Set(i=1000)
exten => s,n,While($[${i} >= 1])
exten =>  s,n,SayDigits(${MACRO_EXTEN})
exten =>  s,n,Wait(5)
exten =>  s,n,Set(i=$[${i} - 1])
exten => s,n,EndWhile()
exten => s,n,MacroExit
;
exten => T,1,NoOp()
exten => T,n,Macro(hangup)
exten => T,n,MacroExit


[default]
exten => _X.,1,NoOp()
exten => _X.,n,Macro(phonenum,20)
exten => _X.,n,Macro(hangup)
;
exten => T,1,NoOp()
exten => T,n,Macro(hangup)



The log when the timeout occurs:
