asterisk users - Feb 2007 - Help! How to get ANSWEREDTIME after DIAL a ZAP channel?

Dear all,

I tried to make a call with extensions.conf.

exten=> _00[1-9].,1,Dial(zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten=> _00[1-9].,2,NoOP(ANSWEREDTIME=${ANSWEREDTIME})
exten=> _00[1-9].,102,Hangup

But the 2 and 102 will not be executed.

So I can get the correct answered time via 2.

Is any idea about it?

Is it the problem of my ZAP channel's configuration?

My zapata.conf is as below:

[channels]
language=en
context=default
busydetect=no
callprogress=no
switchtype=euroisdn
pridialplan=unknown
prilocaldialplan=unknown
overlapdial=yes
signalling=pri_cpe
usecallerid=yes
hidecallerid=no
callwaiting=yes
usecallingpres=yes
callwaitingcallerid=yes
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
cancallforward=yes
callreturn=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
group=1
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
channel => 1-15,17-31

Dear Phil,

Thank you for your reply.

I have changed by extensions.conf as below.
And I also put my debug information for your reference.

It is a strange behavior. I got exited non-zero in it when I use ZAP channel.
If I use my SIP trunking gateway(outside), I got the return value is zero.

exten=> _00[1-9].,h,NoOP(ANSWEREDTIME=${ANSWEREDTIME})

Dear Phil,

The extension 'h' was a great idea although I still got the error
"exited non-zero".

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Charles
