I traced CDR(disposition) which was set to "NO ANSWER". Apparently AMI works the opposite of AGI in this case.

I have a small AGI script that would call the getFullVariable("${CDR(answer)}") method in Java and print a Date/Time string. When the AMI connection was on, a sound file is being played on. May be you can help me in a different way. My goal is to obtain the Date/Time when the caller was answered using "answer()" in the dialplan. More specifically, when the NewChannelEvent is generated. I know I can create a dialplan variable with strftime. But I would rather take advantage of the built-in readonly Asterisk variables before trying that route. I am grateful for your response and would appreciate additional help.
