Hi Lonnie
No, nothing complex here, and nothing nested. I was getting a syntax
failure, and Google suggested that I quote my arguments, ie from
(pseudocode):
${ARG1}=555
to:
"${ARG1}"="555"
The error has gone, but the macro is still not dialling, and the console is
showing a lot of: "", "SIP/", and so on - in other words, the value of the
arguments is not coming through.
I would like to know the explanation, but I shall also look at converting to
gosubs, since that's what One Should Do.
Thanks
Tom

Tom,
My main box is the latest AstLinux with Asterisk 1.8, and lots of macros
that work. The problem with macros is when you nest them too deeply since
they are stack based, so watch for macros calling macros calling macros... I
seem to recall less then 10 deep is usually OK.
I'd suggest you create a test extension and test macro to better understand
your failure.
BTW, "macros" also work in Asterisk 11, in fact the sample Asterisk 11
extensions.conf contains Macro() .
