Hi Hraban, Hans, Taco, I followed this thread with interest. By coincidence I was struggling with this kind of problem during the last days. Thanks so much for this educative example! In my case I have to fill in a table with the information concerning parcels to be sent. Some times there is a single one sometimes there are multiple pieces. For each of the parcels I have to fill in a table-row. And voilà! The community cooked up the pieces I missed. Thanks again. Willi Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

You need to expand the \Set commands in that first loop, otherwise you store the literal token \recursevelel inside the definitions of the Key and Val macros (\setvalue{}{} autoexpands its first argument, but not its second argument).
When not inside a recursion, \recurselevel expands to the number 0 (zero) in the "manual bit", and you are actually re-evaluating the macro using the then current \recurselevel definition when inside the "looping" bit.
The magic expansion hit me again, I should've known it.
So you need:
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{9}{1}{ \expanded{\Set{\recurselevel}{K\recurselevel}{V\recurselevel}} }
I hope this is clear enough?
Thank you very much! Actually, in the real environment I needed the \expanded at another place:
\def\Sender#1#2#3{\setvalue{SenderKey#1}{#2}\setvalue{SenderVal#1}{#3}} \def\GetSenderLine#1{\bTR\bTD\doiftextelse{\getvalue{SenderKey#1}} {\getvalue{SenderKey#1}:}{}\eTD\bTD\getvalue{SenderVal#1}\eTD\eTR} % initialize values (not even needed) \dostepwiserecurse{1}{9}{1}{ \Sender{\recurselevel}{}{} }
\startsetups sendertablesetup \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[x][1][width=\senderkeywidth, align=left, style={\keystyle \strut}] \setupTABLE[x][2][width=\sendervalwidth, align=right, style= {\valstyle\strut}] \bTABLE \dostepwiserecurse{1}{9}{1}{% count from 1 to 9, step 1 \expanded{\GetSenderLine{\recurselevel}} } \eTABLE \stopsetups
