Set() Sets a variable to the specified value
Set(n=value,[n2=value2...[,options]])

Sets the variable n to the specified value. Also sets the variable n2 to the value of
value2. If the variable name is prefixed with _, single inheritance is assumed. If the
variable name is prefixed with _ _, infinite inheritance is assumed. Inheritance is used
when you want channels created from the current channel to inherit the variable from
the current channel.
If the options parameter is set to g, the variables will be set as global variables instead
of channel variables.
; set a variable called DIALTIME, then use it
exten => 123,1,Set(DIALTIME=20)
exten => 123,1,Dial(Zap/4/5551212,,${DIALTIME})

The setting of multiple variables and the use of the g option have been
deprecated. Please use multiple calls to Set() and the GLOBAL() dialplan
function instead.
