asterisk users - Feb 2007 - AEL & Blacklist question

Does the ${BLACKLIST()} function allow for values other than 1 to be
returned and if so how can I use that is the AEL? Can I use the
function in a switch statement?

I haven't used the BLACKLIST function, but have been using the DB()
function quite a bit; they should be pretty similar... here's a little
snippet from my home dialplan:

              Set(cidcallcount=${DB(cidrec/${CALLERID(num)})});
              NoOp(cidcallcount is set to ${cidcallcount});
              Set(cidchosecount=${DB(cidchose/${CALLERID(num)})});
              NoOp(cidchosecount is set to ${cidchosecount});
              if( "${cidcallcount}" != "" )
              {
                      Set(DB(cidrec/${CALLERID(num)})$[${cidcallcount}+1]);
              }
              else
              {
                      Set(DB(cidrec/${CALLERID(num)})=1);
                      Set(cidcallcount=1);
              }
 
The key is know what it returns, what it returns when there isn't
anything to return, and what you need it for... as usual.
