      Thanks Otared,

Hi MF,
You should use \rawcountervalue instead of \getnumber, as in the 
following:
\starttext
\definenumber[numero][]
\setnumber[numero][42]
The value of {\tt numero} is \getnumber[numero].
The value of {\tt numero} is \rawnumber[numero].
The value of {\tt numero} is \rawcountervalue[numero].
\doifelse{\getnumber[numero]}{42}{
 Ok, the test worked.
}{
 Why does not it work?
}
\doifelse{\rawcountervalue[numero]}{42}{
 Ok, the test worked.
}{
 Why does not it work?
}
\stoptext
Best regards: OK

ConTeXt types "Why does not it work?", because the test fails. Why?
