Due to the nature of GoSub() vs. Macro() there is no built in channel
variable which carries
that information with a GoSub(). Devs keep me honest here.
If the subroutine needs to know what part of dialplan the channel came from
I recommend
sending the information as an ARG in the nested set of parenthesis when
executing the
GoSub() application.
exten => _7XXX,1,GoSub(subDialer,begin,1(${CONTEXT}))
[subDialer]
exten => begin,1,Verbose(0, This subroutine was executed from the ${ARG1}
context.)
