strange. the error here is caused by the undefined '\DVI' macro
    (outdated context from 26.01.2011). loading the right module
(preferred)
    or using a separate definition should solve this.
is your fault caused by an undefined '\fillinfield' then?
    you can test it by replacing the '\DVI' macro with the text 'DVI'.
Does still not work:
    9 >>  \fillinfield [dvi]{DVI} output,
Or do you mean that \fillinfield is not defined. Which module should I
use for this then?
yes, '\fillinfield' is not defined somehow. but the needed module
'scrn-fld.mkiv' should be loaded automatically in 'context.mkiv'.
can you locate the file with
mtxrun.exe --locate scrn-fld.mkiv
No, because I use Linux.
I tried:
    find ~/ConTeXt -name scrn-fld.mkiv

But this did find nothing.

I also tried:
    find ~/ConTeXt -name '*fld*'

This gives:
/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/scrn-fld.lua
/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/java-fld.mkii
/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/scrn-fld.mkii
/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-fld.lua
/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/java-imp-fld.mkiv
/home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/scrn-fld.mkvi

Maybe the last one is wrong? .mkvi instead of .mkiv.

It starts with:
%D \module
%D   [       file=scrn-fld,
%D        version=1997.05.18,
%D          title=\CONTEXT\ Screen Macros,
%D       subtitle=Fields,
%D         author=Hans Hagen,
%D           date=\currentdate,
%D      copyright={PRAGMA / Hans Hagen \& Ton Otten}]
%C
%C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is
%C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See mreadme.pdf for
%C details.

% There is still some leftover code from mkii, where we need to
% be sparse with hash entries and so have a somewhat complex
% setup mechanism.

% interaction checking

\writestatus{loading}{ConTeXt Screen Macros / Fields}

\unprotect

\registerctxluafile{scrn-fld}{1.001}

%D In \MKII\ we had to cheat a bit with setups in order not to run
%D out of memory with thousands of fields, which we happen to need at
%D that time. In \MKIV\ we can store some data at the \LUA\ end and
%D use a somewhat slower but quite okay inheritance mechanism. For
%D this reason we now have split definitions, although the old method
%D is still somewhat supported. The clone and copy commands are
%D somewhat obsolete for several reasons: we can now use inheritance
%D and autocloning has been supported for a while. In most cases
%D cloning (especially with check boxes) the acrobat browser is not
%D stable enough with respect to appearance handling.

So I'll look what happens if I rename it.
