Description:	I need to set the tonezone for a DAHDI call, placed through AMI Originate command, to a non-default zone. If I change the tone zone through the dialplan it works (but, if the dest channel is a DAHDI, only if changed BEFORE the Dial, while a SIP channel allows a tonezone change even after the Dial): [macro-MACRO_StdCall] exten = s,1,Set(CHANNEL(tonezone)=it) exten = s,n,Dial(${ARG1}) exten = s,n,Hangup() Now, if I start the call through the AMI Originate command, the Variable: CHANNEL(tonezone)=it has no effects and it's impossible to change the tone zone of a DAHDI placed call (for a SIP placed one I can act on the Context).

Please request a bug marshal in #asterisk-bugs on the IRC network irc.freenode.net to reopen the issue should you have the additional information requested.  Further information can be found at http://www.asterisk.org/developers/bug-guidelines By: Paul Belanger (pabelanger) 2012-07-05 10:14:00.448-0500 Re-opening, this is only 1 week old By: David Woolley (davidw) 2012-07-12 05:34:59.975-0500 Technically, CHANNEL(tonezone) is a "function" not a "variable".  Maybe only real "variables" can be set by Originate.  (SetVar will set "functions" as well.) ("functions" cause code to be run, and, in this case, the effect is to actually change a field in the channel data structure (chan->zone), rather than manipulating the name/value list that represents variables.)
