The following MWE gives "false false" instead of "false true". I'm sure this used to work (18 months or more ago!) as I found it when re-processing an old document.

because it's not empty (it's a command that you pass)

---start--- \setdataset [DS] [a=aaaa] \setdataset [DS] [a=]

\starttext

:\datasetvariable{DS}{1}{a}: \crlf :\datasetvariable{DS}{2}{a}: \crlf

\doifemptyelse{\datasetvariable{DS}{1}{a}}{true}{false}

\doifemptyelse{\datasetvariable{DS}{2}{a}}{true}{false}

\stoptext ---end---
