you can get same result with placetable by changing the text from table
to figure with \setuplabeltext[table=Figure ]
You see, ConTeXt has better ways to do things like this.

common. Context allows me to adapt even to bad nomenclature.
Thanks to you and Wolfgang. Frequently my Celtic brain needs Teutonic

try location=top, as high seems to mean something different here (dunno).

[NTG-context] How to make a natural table float.
My task requires alternating whate and gray bars for a table. I was happy to
jump on the Natural Table facility. Further, I want the table to float in
the classic TeX fashion. I don't know the exact code for this in Context.
This doesn't work:
\setupcaptions[location=high]
\placetable[here][tab:comp]{Comparison of Corporate and Government Bond
Portfolios}
\setupTABLE[r][even][background=screen]
\bTABLE
...
\eTABLE
-
I get the message:
! Missing { inserted.
etc.
