Using vector variable for announcement 1

I have a simple vector that just plays an announcement.
Until now, I have successfully used the announcement command followed by the extension of the announcement I want to play, like this "announcement 6000".
For reasons beyond the scope of this post, it would be useful to me to use a vector variable instead of the hard coded extension e.g. "announcement BB", however it is not clear what type of Vector Variable to use.
I tried using the value type but it seems to be hard set to length 1 which does not work for me as all the announcement extensions are 4 digits.
VDN variables are not a solution for this problem as I need a global variable.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
 
Set it up as a Collect and set it up with your annc extension. Just tested and works for me.
