[asterisk-users] Stumped about adding a semi-colon to a variable

[CDR]

I need to add a semi-colon to a variable, but no matter how I quote
it, the parser ignores it and considers the semi-colon as the
beginning of a comment.
Si how do I concatenate the content of a variable to a semi-colon? I
tried surrounding it with double quotes, single quotes, using a
backslash first, a period first, to no avail.
