asterisk users - Feb 2014 - Variables are empty after Redirecting a channel

Guys,

I am using
Asterisk 1.8.20.0 built by mockbuild @ buildvm-24.phx2.fedoraproject.org on
a x86_64 running Linux on 2013-01-18 19:52:25 UTC

How can I set variable in one context and then Redirect a channel to
another context and use variable there? The code below doesn't work, so
I've got empty VAR1 in context_2

[context_1]

exten => s,1,SET(__VAR1=VALUE1)
exten => s,n,ChannelRedirect(${CHANNEL},context_2,AMD,1)

[context_2]

exten => AMD,1,NoOp(VAR1: ${VAR1})

Thank you in advance,
Igor

You should be able to get something working using a shared variable. I 
have used them in one of my blog posts if you would like an example of 
their use

You should be using Goto here instead of ChannelRedirect, since you are
redirecting the channel which is executing ChannelRedirect (that
slightly made my head hurt). Switching should also make the variable
work as you desire.
