I do now.

I use CDR UniqueIDs to track calls being processed through my system, so at 
the start of a context where a call arrives, I assign the value to a variable 
I can use later in the dialplan.

In /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf I have:

	; Prefix uniqueid with a system name for
	; Global uniqueness issues.
	autosystemname = yes

If I write in my AEL dialplan:

	Set(Tracker=${CDR(uniqueid)});

this results in executing:

	Set(Tracker=eagle.domain.com-1661872057.2349)

Just what I want.

However writing:

	Tracker=${CDR(uniqueid)};

results in:

	MSet(Tracker=-1661872057.2349)

systemname is missing.
