You can enter a VDN variable between V1 - V9 as an announcement extension in all commands that use an announcement in the extension field.

The following syntax rules apply when VDN variables are used with the announcement command.

announcement [V1-V9]
collect [1-16] digits after announcement [V1-V9] 
for [none, A-Z, AA-ZZ]
disconnect after announcement [V1-V9]
wait-time [0-999 secs, 0-480 mins, 0-8 hrs] hearing [V1-V9] then [music, ringback, silence, continue]

Requirements and considerations

• You can use a VDN variable or a vector variable, but not both.

• When the command is executed, the assignment entry for that variable is taken from the VDN screen for the active VDN of the call and used as the announcement extension number.

• The number must be a valid announcement extension assigned on the Audio/Announcement screen.
