[asterisk-users] AMI Commands - not working as Expected, Maybe???

[john Millican]

Hello,
Asterisk 1.4.38
Linux version 2.6.9-89.31.1.EL   CentOS

Trying to get variables into a dial plan from AMI.  I have tried all 
sorts of combinations,entering them after making a connection to ami 
through telnet, of the many available examples on voip-info.org such as:
Action: Originate
Channel: sip/xxxxxxxxxx at xxxxxxx
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 30
Context: test1
Exten: acs1
Priority: 1
CallerID: xxxxxxxxxx
Account: MyTest
Command: Set(var1=123456)
Command: Set(var2=54321)

also tried:
Var:
Variable:
SetVar:

Each individually for the two variables I need and both on the same line 
separated by a | or a ,
Always when I hit return twice to give the \r\n\r\n  The call is 
successful but where I have
exten => acs1,n,NoOp(Vars = ${var1}, ${var2});
in my dialplan what I get is:
[2011-08-15 17:20:28]     -- Executing [acs1 at test1:2] 
NoOp("SIP/xxxxxxx-00000451", "Vars = | ") in new stack
Obviously not what I was hoping for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
JohnM
