asterisk users - Nov 2004 - Variable substitution - How can I do Dial(${DIALSTRING}) where ${DIALSTRING} is 'SIP/201, 15, tT'?

I've been banging my head against a brick wall for the last hour and I'm
sure this is one of those easy to solve things - just that I can't see the
wood for the trees.

I'm trying to do:

-----------

[some-context]
Exten => s,1,Macro(dodial,'SIP/201,15,tT',123456,MOHClass)

[macro-dodial]
Exten => s,1,SetCallerID(${ARG2})
Exten => s,2,SetMusicOnHold(${ARG3})
Exten => s,3,Dial(${ARG1})

-----------

(there's a lot more to it than that, but the above should give you an idea
of what I'm trying to achieve)

A command starting at some-context,s,1 returns the following error:

    -- Executing Macro("SIP/200-b9d9",
"dodial|SIP/201,15,tT|123456|MOHClass") in new stack
    -- Executing SetCallerID("SIP/200-b9d9", "123456") in
new stack
    -- Executing SetMusicOnHold("SIP/200-b9d9", "MOHClass")
in new stack
Nov 29 19:43:09 WARNING[802835]: pbx.c:1280 pbx_extension_helper: No
application 'Dial{${ARG1})' for extension (macro-dodial, s, 5)
  == Spawn extension (macro-dodial, s, 5) exited non-zero on
'SIP/200-b9d9'
in macro 'dodial'
  == Spawn extension (from-sip, 201, 2) exited non-zero on
'SIP/200-b9d9'

Is there any way I can achieve this without having to pass each of the dial
parameters to the macro individually?

Cheers,

Nick.

Look very close at this output.  Unless you did a copy-and-paste of your 
extensions.conf segment, I would say that you typed, in your actual 
extensions.conf, 'Dial{${ARG1})' instead of 'Dial(${ARG1})'. 
Notice the
'{' vs '(' ?  That, or did you type out that entire CLI output?

Anyway, my $0.00. (feeling stingy today :)

OK, sorry for the mistakes....

Should have read:

    -- Executing Dial("SIP/201-aca6", "SIP/201,15,tT") in
new stack
Nov 29 21:14:05 WARNING[868371]: chan_sip.c:1386 create_addr: No such host:
201,15,tT
Nov 29 21:14:05 NOTICE[868371]: app_dial.c:756 dial_exec: Unable to create
channel of type 'SIP'

And, if I change the contents of the ${ARG1} to 'SIP/201|15|tT' then
things
get very weird.



So:

[some-context]
Exten => s,1,Macro(dodial,'SIP/201,15,tT',123456,MOHClass)

[macro-dodial]
Exten => s,1,SetCallerID(${ARG2})
Exten => s,2,SetMusicOnHold(${ARG3})
Exten => s,3,Dial(${ARG1})


Gives:


    -- Executing Macro("SIP/200-aca6",
"dodial|SIP/201,15,tT|123456|MOHClass") in new stack
    -- Executing SetCallerID("SIP/201-aca6", "123456") in
new stack
    -- Executing SetMusicOnHold("SIP/200-aca6", "FRED") in
new stack
    -- Executing Dial("SIP/200-aca6", "SIP/201,15,tT") in
new stack

  == Everyone is busy/congested at this time


And:

[some-context]
Exten => s,1,Macro(dodial,'SIP/201|15|tT',123456,MOHClass)

[macro-dodial]
Exten => s,1,SetCallerID(${ARG2})
Exten => s,2,SetMusicOnHold(${ARG3})
Exten => s,3,Dial(${ARG1})


Gives:


    -- Executing Macro("SIP/200-c515",

    -- Executing SetCallerID("SIP/200-c515", "15") in new
stack
    -- Executing SetMusicOnHold("SIP/200-c515", "tT") in new

    -- Executing Dial("SIP/200-c515", "SIP/201") in new

Which I can't quite get my head round.

Any ideas?

Nick.
