Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Alias Macros

This example displays a comment on its own line in the Application String field and a comment after a macro in the Alternate Route field.

.Application String	........................................... //links 1-4
Alternate Route . .	................................. ="6145550384"#from OH



Note: The pound sign (#) can be entered as part of the macro string if it is enclosed in either single or double quotes. The pound sign may be either directly enclosed (=A+’#’+D(C)), or the string that the pound sign resides in may be enclosed (=‘198.127.1.4#23’).

Constants

Macro constants are either fixed alphanumeric characters enclosed in single or double quotes or integers between positive and negative 2,147, 483, 647. All strings equal zero. Strings cannot be used in mathematical functions.

Variables

Several variables are recognized by macros. Refer to Table 8-18 for more information.



Note: Variables are not case-sensitive.

	Table 8-18 Macro Variables
Variable	Value
C (CUD)	Specifies a “call user data” variable.
A (CALLED)	Specifies a “called address” variable.
B (CALLER)	Specifies a “caller’s address” variable.

Wildcard Symbols

Macros have two available wildcard symbols:

z? matches any single character.

z* matches zero or more characters.



Note: Alias names that use wildcards are not really macros. Wildcards are not processed in alias names that start with ‘=’.
