E at end of digits dialed in some cdr records 1

[tiver43809]

I am getting an E at the end of digits dialed for some international calls. I have found same phone number without the E. Does anyone know what this is? Our Call Accounting System does not seem to like it.

Thank You,

what field is it appearing in? maybe check the sys-cdr page 2 & see if something got changed.

It is in the digits dialed field. But only happens once in awhile and it is always an international call. they are valid phone numbers so I am not sure why it shows up. Nothing has been changed.
Thanks for looking

I wonder if it's E for "end" as in the user pressed # at the end of the number to get the call to instantly process vs waiting for the interdigit timeout after the last digit. Maybe try a test dialing an international number from your phone with and without a # on the end?

Call detail record field descriptions

The field can contain a pound sign (#) or the letter E for either ARS calls or TAC calls when:
- A user dials a pound sign (#) at the end of a string of digits
- An outgoing call exceeds the interdigit-timeout interval that is in the ARS Analysis table
- A user dials a TAC for a Look Ahead Interflow (LAI). For example, a successful LAI to
<TAC> 1001, where 1001 is the remote VDN extension, yields 1001E or 1001# in the Dialed Number field. The vector processing software uses the pound sign (#) or E to indicate the end of the string of digits that the user dials.
You administer the CDR System Parameter screen so the pound sign (#) or the letter E need not be the last digit of the CDR record.
