      Hans, Wolfgang!

Thank you so much for your instructions! — This expansion thing is something I will probably never master ;-(

Thank you!
Kind regards

Good evening gurus!
Why is the minimal example failing? i.e. executing always the else-branch?
\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\setvariables
   [Test]
   [Number=]
\starttext
   Value of variable Number before test: \getvariable{Test}{Number} \crlf
\doifemptyelse{\getvariable{Test}{Number}}
       {\dorecurse
            {5}
            {TEST}
       }
       {Nothing defined \par
        Contents of variable Number: \getvariable{Test}{Number}
       }
\stoptex

there's also
\doifelsevariable {Test} {Number}
that can be used
in this case
\doifelseemptyvariable{Test}{Number}{...}{...}
is the better choice
