Not 'context', 'channel'. The macro you are supplying is running on an
outbound channel created by the Dial() application, so the simple answer
is no, there is no way for the code running on that channel to modify
variables owned by the channel that created it.
Can I set a channel variable in say IAX2/100104 from IAX2/100105? Is
there potentially another way, other than say writing a file to disk in
the macro and reading that file in the parent? That's the best I could
come up with... :-(
I guess I could also set a Global variable called FOO_${CHANNEL}, pass
that name to the macro, have it set the Global variable, then destroy it
once I read it in the parent.
I was hoping for a cleaner option...
2. Is there a better way to hand back "status" of a Macro executed by
the Dial() command?
It's possible that MACRO_RESULT might get passed back, I'm not sure.
But MACRO_RESULT must be CONTINUE in order for the Macro to hang up on the
dialed party and continue through the parent context; if I set it to 1, 2,
3 or 4, when the Macro reaches its end, the Macro will connect the call,
which is not the intended action.
I've poured over the docs, README.variables, some of the doxygen docs, the
wiki, and it doesn't seem there is an easy way to do this.
Thanks for the quick reply Kevin!
