UCCX 7.0 -calling number block script

Question

The version of Call Manager that I am on does not have a way to block an ANI coming into system (apparently later release do, will upgrade later).
The calls from these auto-dialers that are coming in are going to our Call Center Express trigger.
I created translation pattern that directs calls to that trigger to a new script.  New script has "if/ then' stmt  that says if the nubmer is xxx-xxx-xxxx (listing the specific auto dialer number), I route it to a fax machine,  if not then go to next step,  did another 'if / then'  for the 2nd auto dialer number,  if not that number then I route the call to the regular trigger for the call center script (if it is then it also goes to the fax number).\
That works , there is some delay though.
Those auto dialer calls have not stopped (number of calls reduced signficantly- but not gone).
Now I need to add another number that is auto dialing us ... I am thinking initial delay is going to get longer ......
could not figure out how to list more than on ANI ... seems I had to do a new "if/ then" statement for each number ..........
Any ideas on improving the script to be more efficient?

Answer 1

Here's one way, which seems to be the preferred way in Java to find a needle in a haystack:
Variables
String ANI = ""String[] blocked_numbers = new String[] {"1000", "1001", "2002"}
Script
Start...ANI = Get Call Contact Info (--Triggering Contact--, Calling Number)If (java.util.Arrays.asList(blocked_numbers).contains(ANI))     True          /* This is a blocked caller */     False          /* This is not a blocked caller */...End
You would use the String array to hold all of your blocked numbers.  I have used three to illustrate the example.
