Asterisk: The Future of Telephony, 2nd Edition

Name

Set() — Sets a variable to the specified value

Synopsis

Set(n=value,[n2=value2...[,options]])

Sets the variable n to the specified value. Also sets the variable n2 to the value of value2. If the variable name is prefixed with _, single inheritance is assumed. If the variable name is prefixed with _ _, infinite inheritance is assumed. Inheritance is used when you want channels created from the current channel to inherit the variable from the current channel.

If the options parameter is set to g, the variables will be set as global variables instead of channel variables.

; set a variable called DIALTIME, then use it
exten => 123,1,Set(DIALTIME=20)
exten => 123,1,Dial(Zap/4/5551212,,${DIALTIME})

Note

The setting of multiple variables and the use of the g option have been deprecated. Please use multiple calls to Set() and the GLOBAL() dialplan function instead.
