asterisk users - Dec 2008 - Using Dial M option from extensions.ael

Hi,

How can you use Dial application M(x) option from extensions.ael ?
(As a reminder, this M(x) executes macro x when Dial called party answers).

It seems to me that asterisk keeps looking for this macro in extensions.conf
and not in extensions.ael.
I tried both (and variations of those with ^ instead of ,) :
Dial(Local/${EXTEN:1},,M(mymacro(${EXTEN}));
Dial(Local/${EXTEN:1},,M(&mymacro,${EXTEN}));

both lead to unexpected results:
macro_exec: No such context 'macro-mymacro' for macro 'mymacro'

As a workaround, I could write my macro in extensions.conf, but ...

Regards

I'd say use the U option instead of G.
AEL macros are converted to Gosub routines, not Macros.
