Calling GOSUB From Macro On Asterisk 1.8
I know we should not be running an Asterisk so old but this customer really does not want to replace this particular installation.
I am having a problem when calling Gosub from a macro. It seems that if I call gosub and return to the macro all Macro related variables like MACRO_EXTEN and ARG are gone. Is that expected or should I look for a problem elsewhere?
On the CLI I can see the call enter the macro, the use the GOSUB
code and when it returns to try to dial I have something like:
Dial(${ARG1}) (where ARG1 is a parameter sent to the macro). I get an error:
WARNING[21682] app_dial.c: Dial requires an argument (technology/number)
This is because the ARG variable is no longer available after the GOSUB. If I remove the gosub everything works as expected. I know macros are deprecated but they are in use in most of my servers and it will take a while to replace everything. Any pointers?
