asterisk users - Feb 2008 - Variable setting in AMI Originate

Working with asterisk 1.4; using the AMI Originate command, it is possible to 
do something like:

Variable: CDR(accountcode)123456

Or must the variable names be "var[n]" where n is a number?

I'd like to set the accountcode for a Local channel that originates a call.

Thanks.  -A

Anthony,

I may not understand your question, but setting variables from the AMI is easy 
enough:

Action: Originate
Channel: local/${DEV_NAME}@Management
Context: to_meetme
Exten: s
Priority: 1
Variable: CALLERID(num)=${DEV_NAME}|CALLERID(name)=Conference Waiting
Async: true
