asterisk users - May 2016 - Call a subroutine via Originate?

Howdy everyone,

I'm writing a little click to dial type tool and I've run into a snag
where
my Originate command needs to call a Sub routine to do a database lookup
and some other stuff.

I can't seem to get the syntax right to call Gosub with Originate

Just testing with the command line I've been unable to make it work with
any of these attempts:

originate PJSIP/johntest application Gosub sub-callout s,1

originate PJSIP/johntest application Gosub sub-callout(s,1)

originate PJSIP/johntest application Gosub (sub-callout,s,1)

What Syntax should I be using?

And if it helps I'll be calling this via AMI over https.

Thanks!
