asterisk users - Jun 2009 - Function IMPORT and Local channels

Hi,

At the moment, I can't read Local channels variables using IMPORT function :
${IMPORT(Local/7531 at pcdialer-5dff\;1,CALLERID(num))}

Is it normal behaviour ?
Any idea or suggestion ?

A DumpChan statement show usual variables.
Comparing a Local channel with a SIP channel, the only difference I could
associate meaning to, is that Local channel names include a semi colon with
SIP channels don't.
So, I've tried unsuccessfully to escape (as shown above), truncate,
channel's name but returned value is always empty.

Regards

I'm confused as to why you're trying to escape the semicolon here.  The
name
of the channel cannot be hardcoded into a configuration file, because it's
dynamically generated at runtime, and the only reason I'd see for escaping
the
semicolon would be if you wanted it preserved during a load from a
configuration file.  What am I missing?
