Hi I also stumbled over that issue but circumvented it by converting the integers to a string. MySQL als Database then converts the string containing a valid representation of an integer, back to an integer. Use-case: Counting Call-Legs with same $ci: Initialize the dialog var you will be using as a string: $dlg_var(legcounter) = "1"; Put call in a DLG Profile: set_dlg_profile("legcounter","$ci"); Pull Integer Variable containing number of calls: get_profile_size("legcounter","$ci","$var(legcounter)"); $var(legcounter) is an integer now but when you assign it to a string dlg_var it is being converted to string: $dlg_var(legcounter) = $var(legcounter); Or to forcefully convert an integer to a string you could always do: $dlg_var(legcounter) = "" + $var(legcounter); PS: this was determined by try and error. So maybe there are better solutions out there.
