Sorry for the inaccuracies in my previous description, Wolfgang.
I use a single source combined with data read from CSV files to generate
documents which may contain a single or more than one page.
I assumed that modes were persistent across runs. And maybe they aren’t
or my approach is wrong.

The sample that seems to work is the following (too tricky for my taste
and I have to adapt it to Windows):
\installshipoutmethod{savepages}
{\dowithnextbox
{\invokepagehandler{normal}{\copy\nextbox}%
\putboxincache{savedpages}{\number\realpageno}\nextbox}
\hbox}
\setuppaper[method=savepages]
\starttext
\scale[width=\textwidth]{a}
\scale[width=\textwidth]{b}
\doifmode{*first}{\executesystemcommand{rm zikaasd.abh}}
\startnotmode[*first]
\ifnum\lastpagenumber<2
\executesystemcommand{touch zikaasd.abh}
\fi
\doiffileexistselse{zikaasd.abh}{%
\startlayout[page]
\directboxfromcache{savedpages}{1}
\stoplayout}{}
\stopnotmode
\stoptext
I wonder whether there is a better way of doing this.
At least, creating and removing empty files with Lua would be more
portable. And not having to use an external file would be better.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
