asterisk users - Oct 2011 - Storing a variable at a context and using it in another context

Hi All;

Is it possible to store a variable at context and using it in another context or
in the MACRO? For example, how I can store the ${CALLERID(num)} in a variable
and use it in another context or in a MACRO?

Regards
Bilal

Try using variables between macros and contexts without doing anything. It
works fine for me in asterisk 1.6.13+. If not then use _ before variable
name.

Variables are local to channels  (to all intents and purposes, call legs),  
not contexts.  If you call a macro or GoTo() another context, any variables 
you defined in the calling context should be preserved.  They will only be 
forgotten when the channel is destroyed  (to all intents and purposes, when 
the call is hung up).

Answers come *after* questions.

In my 1.4 and 10.0 experience, there are two types of variables.  Call/Local
variables that "live" for the duration of the current call only and
Global
variables that are set and live on until Asterisk is restarted.  I can do
set(foo=${CALLERID(num)) and use ${foo} anywhere in my dialplan.   I can do
Set(GLOBAL(lastcaller)=${CALLERID(num)}) and see that my last caller was
${lastcaller} from any concurrent or later call.
