C.21. `GLOBAL()`

GLOBAL(variablename)

(beginning Asterisk 1.4)

Used to declare a variable global, i.e. valid beyond the active life of the current channel. Asterisk 1.2 users use Set() (Section B.110, “Set()”) with the option g.

; define global variable ${myvariable}:
exten => 123,1,Set(GLOBAL(myvariable)=Test)

Note

Whether global variables persist through a reload on the Asterisk console depends whether clearglobalvars is set in extensions.conf.
