Carrier detect

[trompeteroloco]

This may be a simple problem for you experienced Aspect programmers but, I need to be able to detect when the carrier is lost during script execution and restart the script (ie. redial and run through the process again). I have been trying to accomplish this but the script just stops when the carrier is lost.

You can check the value of the $CARRIER system variable to do this. If $CARRIER is zero, then carrier detect has been lost, while 1 means a connection is established. Probably the easiest way to do this is to use a when $CARRIER call procname structure. Whenever the value of $CARRIER changes, a procedure named procname is called. In that procedure, you check to see if $CARRIER is 0 or 1. If zero, then you would perform whatever steps necessary to rectify this situation.

I have a sample script (ExitOnDisconnect.was) at

that shows how to do this. The use of the script is slightly different than your situation, but it should give you a good starting point.
