asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Need to retrieve Call-ID from dialed SIP channel (w/o CDRs)

Is there a way to retrieve the Call-ID from a call made using the 'Dial'
command on a SIP channel without CDRs (i.e. variable) ?

Thanks,

(sometimes I wonder why we write documentation)

doc/README.variables has ${SIPCALLID} documented to be exactly that.

I obviously didn't explain enough, sorry about that. Let me re-phrase the
problem/question.

Is there a way to retrieve the call-id from a call made using the 'Dial'
command on a SIP channel without CDRs if I've already answered an incoming
call, and the dial (SIP chan) was simply executed on that existing call.

If try and read in the SIPCALLID variable (which I already do on the incoming
call) after the dial, I still get the incoming call's call-id.

Make sense?

btw - Love the documentation . . read it all the time . .

Thanks,

- Darren
