asterisk users - Jan 2004 - CDR problem with macros

Hi there,

whenever I use a macro to dial out I see only "s" recorded in the dst 
field of the CDR. Is there anyway to get around that problem except for 
not using a macro?

Example:

[default]
exten => 1234,1,macro(dial-out)

[macro-dial-out]
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/test,30,r)

Now, I can probably catch the "unavailable" and the "busy"
case using the
MACRO_OFFSET variable, but what do I do if the caller hangs up himself? 
The Dial option 'g' won't help, and I always end up in default,s 
(although that is not even defined) and here's my ugly 's' that
shows in
the dst field... :-(

Cheers, Philipp

Try to match every extension before dialing out instead, using "s" is
a bad thing for CDRs.

[default]
exten => 1234,1,macro(dial-out,${EXTEN})

[macro-dial-out]
exten => s,1,goto(dial-out2,${ARGV1})

[dial-out2]
exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/test,30,r)


Of course, you could to a goto instead of macro in the first place, but there
might be
another reason that you want to use a macro...

Now, the last extension used is "1234" instead of "s".
