asterisk users - Mar 2013 - Howto create variable from the name of another one and get content of it

Hello,

I have a variable created like

... Set(__myVar=${ARG1})
... Set(__${myVar}STATUS=)

If ARG1 is abcd, variable is abcdSTATUS and should be empty. This is OK.

Now I would like to get the value of abcdSTATUS. How to do it? 
${${myVar}STATUS}} isn't working, nor ${{myvar}STATUS}

Thanks for any hint

hi,
${myVar}STATUS is empty you have not assign any value here your var
Set(__${myVar}STATUS=) is empty.
use instead  Set(__myVar=${ARG1}STATUS) and remove second line.

If 'variable is abcdSTATUS and should be empty' what value are you
trying
to get?

In your first try '${${myVar}STATUS}}' you have 1 too many closing
brace.
In your second try '${{myvar}STATUS}' you're missing a
'dollar.'

Is this what you are trying to do?

         exten = *,n,    set(ARG1=abcd)
         exten = *,n,    set(__myVar=${ARG1})
         exten = *,n,    set(__${myVar}STATUS=status)
         exten = *,n,    verbose(myVar = ${myVar})
         exten = *,n,    verbose(dollar{myVar}STATUS = ${${myVar}STATUS})
         exten = *,n,    hangup()
