`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() (the section called “Set()”) with the option g.

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


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