How do you start Asterisk? You need to make sure the environment
variable you want inside Asterisk is being exported. I use 'export
HOSTNAME' in my asterisk init script and it works like a charm.

Thanks for your reply Ioan.
Very interesting. ${ENV(PATH)} works to display the path
but ${ENV(MYIP)} does not!
There must be a list in Asterisk that only allows cerain environmental
variables to be shown. A very unnecessary bummer.
However, at the CLI prompt:
! echo $PATH and ! echo $MYIP
both work fine.

Hello Larry,
Probably your variable (MYIP) is not accessible to asterisk process
environment.
Test it with ${ENV(PATH)} and you will have a result there....
exten => s,n,Set(test=${ENV(PATH)})
-- Executing Set("IAX2/test_iax",
"test=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin") in new stack
