Hi Gang, Hopefully somebody out there has a "doh" for this one. My dialplan announces the date and time using SayUnixTime. When I run this: exten => 36225,1,Set(ABA=999999999) exten => 36225,n,Background(telbank/${ABA}/${CHANNEL(language)}/thetimeis) exten => 36225,n,sayunixtime(,,Abe 'digits/at' IMP) I get this CLI output -- Executing [36225 at default:1] Set("SIP/sipuser-00000001", "ABA=999999999") in new stack -- Executing [36225 at default:2] BackGround("SIP/sipuser-00000001", "telbank/999999999/en/thetimeis") in new stack -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'telbank/999999999/en/thetimeis.slin44' (language 'en') [Aug 14 14:22:45] NOTICE[8690]: channel.c:4202 __ast_read: Dropping incompatible voice frame on SIP/sipuser-00000001 of format gsm since our native format has c hanged to (ulaw) -- Executing [36225 at default:3] SayUnixTime("SIP/sipuser-00000001", ",,Abe 'digits/at' IMP") in new stack -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'digits/day-2.slin44' (language 'en') -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'digits/mon-7.slin44' (language 'en') -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'digits/h-14.slin44' (language 'en') -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'digits/at.slin44' (language 'en') -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'digits/2.slin44' (language 'en') -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'digits/20.slin44' (language 'en') -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'digits/2.slin44' (language 'en') -- <SIP/sipuser-00000001> Playing 'digits/p-m.slin44' (language 'en') Great, but it messes with my CDR reading program because of the two leading commas.
