Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I didn’t know of this alternative to \processaction.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

[NTG-context] problem with \processaction
Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\def\SystemUser{whoami}
\def\CheckUser{\processaction[\SystemUser][whoami=whm]}
\starttext
\doifelse{\CheckUser}{whm}{This is the right user.}
{This is the wrong user.}
\doifelse{\SystemUser}{whoami}{This is the right user.}
{This is the wrong user.}
\SystemUser\ is \CheckUser
\stoptext
Why doesn’t the first \doifelse work? What am I missing there?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

because \processaction is not a fully expandable command
