asterisk users - Aug 2011 - AMI Commands - not working as Expected, Maybe???

Hello,
Asterisk 1.4.38
Linux version 2.6.9-89.31.1.EL   CentOS

Trying to get variables into a dial plan from AMI.  I have tried all 
sorts of combinations,entering them after making a connection to ami 
through telnet, of the many available examples on voip-info.org such as:
Action: Originate
Channel: sip/xxxxxxxxxx at xxxxxxx
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 30
Context: test1
Exten: acs1
Priority: 1
CallerID: xxxxxxxxxx
Account: MyTest
Command: Set(var1=123456)
Command: Set(var2=54321)

also tried:
Var:
Variable:
SetVar:

Each individually for the two variables I need and both on the same line 
separated by a | or a ,
Always when I hit return twice to give the \r\n\r\n  The call is 
successful but where I have
exten => acs1,n,NoOp(Vars = ${var1}, ${var2});
in my dialplan what I get is:
[2011-08-15 17:20:28]     -- Executing [acs1 at test1:2] 
NoOp("SIP/xxxxxxx-00000451", "Vars = | ") in new stack
Obviously not what I was hoping for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
JohnM

Ok so I figured it out, It was me being dumb!
Proper format is indeed:
Variable: var1=23456|var2=246810
which I would have sworn I tried and it failed but, I started at the 
beginning again and voila!

Hi John,

I kind of facing the same problem that you were facing.
I am using similar configuration as you are for asterisk.
I am using java-asterisk library to communicate with asterisk.
In my code I am setting two variables (PIN, MREQID) and trying to access
them in dialplan (dialplan shown below).
When I send command to Asterisk to orginate, I get following result (result
shown below). I am wondering how should get access to individual variable
data. I was wondering if I should use Set(var,x,y) method to pull out the
part which is necessary for me. But wasnt sure if thats the right way.

RESULT
 -- Executing [login at authcheckrohan:5]
Set("SIP/softphonerohan-00000060",
"PIN=3408|MREQID=1") in new stack
[Aug 16 17:53:06] WARNING[15739]: pbx.c:1344 pbx_exec: The application
delimiter is now the comma, not the pipe.  Did you forget to convert your
dialplan?  (Set(PIN=3408|MREQID=1))
    -- Executing [login at authcheckrohan:6]
Set("SIP/softphonerohan-00000060",
"MREQID=") in new stack


DIALPLAN
exten => login,1,NoOp();
;exten => login,n,SayNumber(${PIN})
exten => login,n,Set(E=${PIN})
exten => login,n,Verbose(${${E}_PIN})
exten => login,n,Verbose(${E})
exten => login,n,Set(PIN=${PIN})
exten => login,n,Set(MREQID=${MREQID})
exten => login,n,SayNumber(${MREQID})

Have you done it differently?

Thanks & Regards,
Amol

I am connecting to the AMI from a C# app that was built by others but I 
am using the same information and format as is used for a standard 
telnet connection.  What eneded up working is sending Variable: 
var1=xxxx|var2=xxxxx|var3=xxxx as the last element(I do not think it is 
important that it be last though).  This is how it ended up in C# after 
having established the connection:
//Tell asterisk who to call and to connect them to the IVR
                    clientSocket.Send(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Action: 
Originate\r\nChannel: sip/" + phoneNum1 +
"@<provider>\r\nMaxRetries:
2\r\nRetryTime: 60\r\nWaitTime: 30\r\nContext: <the context>l\r\nExten: 
<the exten>\r\nPriority: 1\r\nCallerid: XXXXXXXXXX\r\nAccount: <CDR 
Accountcode>\r\nVariable: var1=" + memberNum +"|var2=" +
phoneNum1 +
"|var3=" + phoneNum2 + "\r\n\r\n"));

Then in my Dialplan I just use ${var1} ,${var2} , and ${var3}  where I 
need them.

Hope this helps.
