When I run the code below (via minimals), I get the following error, why?

Do you know of \dostepwiserecurse{from}{to}{step}{body}. For example,
\starttext \dostepwiserecurse{1800}{2008}{1}{We are at \recurselevel \endgraf} \stoptext
Aditya, Hadn't thought of that one either. I'm taking a package from a LaTeX source and working on converting it. I'm trying to leave the original intact as much as possible. Unfortunately, in trying to leave it intact, I seem to be approaching the problem/solution rather myopically. Thanks for the hint. Bart
