The agent type variable is read-only and cannot be set. The agent variable can be assigned only in the following conditions:

  • By setting an asaiuui variable in a VRD vector

  • As a converse-on operand [operand1 or operand2] in a VRD vector.

1

1 digit (0 to 9, optional). If you do not assign a value in this field, a null value is specified. However, if you administer an FAC to set the variable assignment, any value that you assign by dial code procedure is subsequently displayed in this field.

VVX (optional). You must enter a VAC value to use an FAC to change the variable assignment. The format for the VAC value is VVX, where X is a single digit that ranges from 0 to 9. The VVX value that you list in this field, must be obtained from the FAC screen after you set up the FAC. In the FAC screen, the VVX value is displayed on the same line as the FAC code. If you do not specify a VVX value when you administer the variable, you will receive an intercept tone when you attempt to dial the FAC.
