asterisk users - Jun 2014 - Hold

Hi
        I am trying to set up a hold system so that a call is always parked in
the same spot no matter how many times it is picked up. My problem is I cannot
fins a variable the identifies the call all the way through until it is
destroyed. ${UNIQUEID} and ${CHANNEL}  both seam to get lost when the call is
parked. I tried setting
    set($[?${UNIQUEID}-hold?=?701?])
and
    set($[?${CHANNEL}-hold?=?701?])

and both work fine until I do a transfer to park. Then both variables are blank.
Is there any variable that is persistent to a call through all of the transfers.

asterisk 11.6-cert1
centos 5.7

Thanks

Kelly

Can you write the unique variable to astdb and then write it back to the
variable?

Not sure I have thought this through
