You can enter a vector variable between A-Z or AA-ZZ as an announcement extension in all commands that use an announcement in the extension field.

The following syntax rules apply when you use vector variables with the announcement command:

announcement [A-Z, AA-ZZ]
collect [1-16] digits after announcement [A-Z, AA-ZZ] for [A-Z, AA-ZZ]
disconnect after announcement [A-Z, AA-ZZ]wait-time 
[0-999] sec hearing [A-Z, AA-ZZ] then 
[music, ringback, silence, continue]

Requirements and considerations

The requirements for using variables in place of specific entries in vector commands are follows:

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

• When the command is executed, the assignment entry for that variable is based on the type assignment administered in the Variables for Vectors table or VDN screen for the active VDN for the call.

• The number that the variable expands to during vector processing must be a valid entry for the command parameter.

• The number that the variable obtains during processing must be a valid announcement extension assigned on the Audio/Announcement screen.
