Hi, I have a problem with DIAL. The scenario is this: 1. Asterisk will dial a number in a call list 2. called party picks up the call and hears a prompt asking if they want to pick up ( this is done through M(marco) option in DIAL) 3. if called party does not want to pick up, go to the next number (this is done through SET MARCO_RESULT= CONTINUE) 4. if called party decides to take the call, make some conversion, then the call is completed and hanged up by the called party. For 4, when the called party hangs up, I want to hang up on the calling party as well. This works if I use the dialplan by not including the "g" option in DIAL. However, when I do the DIAL in AGI, the calling party does not get hangup automatically at (4). So, it continues to execute the next line in the AGI, which is not what I want. The problem is that the result I can when executing the DIAL command within AGI does not tell me whether the call was picked up or not. So, I have no way of knowing whether to continue executing the AGI program or to issue a HAGNGUP explicitly. Can anyone please help me ? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

If the call was picked up, ${DIALSTATUS} will contain ANSWER.

Dear Tony,
Thank you very much for your suggestion.
The thing is that ${DIALSTATUS} returns ANSWER regardless of whether the
called party hangs up or not.
For instance, when called party is being asked by Asterisk whether he/she
wants to pick the call, ${DIALSTATUS} returns ANSWER.
In the case where the called party accepts to take the call and then hangs
up after finishing the conversion, I want to stop AGI from jumping to call
the next number. On the other hand, if the called party decides not to take
the call, I want to let AGI to jump to the next number.
It seems like ${DIALSTATUS} does not give me the info that I need.
Thank you very much. Is there any other ways you may think of?
Thanks,
Pete
