NoAnswer and Invalid phone number

Is there a way to distinguish between a no answer and an invalid?  For
me, a 'failed' attempt is dialing an invalid number, and I'd like the
CDRs to reflect that.  I'd like a no answer to be as 'successful' as a 
busy.

The ${DIALSTATUS} channel variable stores the result of the dial attempt:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+variable+DIALSTATUS 

You can store it on the CDR's userfield column using the cdr function: 
Set(CDR(userfield)=${DIALSTATUS})

Actually, I can't.  The dialplan execution goes straight to the 'failed' 
extension.  When it does so, the DIALSTATUS variable gets cleared out.  I have 
this in my dialplan:

exten => failed,n,Noop(Dial status is '${DIALSTATUS}')

The log yields this:
-- Executing NoOp("OutgoingSpoolFailed", "Dial status is ") in new stack

Is there perhaps a way to make DIALSTATUS persist or get populated when the 
dialplan hits the failed extension?
