Indeed, one does not need the comma, it is programmed in the style.
You can see this in the manual, on p. 43 documenting citations.
The style is setup to put the righttext inside the parenthesis for
alternative=authoryear and outside of the year parenthesis for
alternative=authoryears.
I looked carefully in the APA Style Guide and did not find any
suggestion that one should use Knuth (1984, p. 3). The variant (Knuth,
1984, p. 3) is documented.
You can make the following changes (untested)
\setupbtx [apa:cite:author:years] [right=]
\setupbtx [apa:cite:authoryears] [right={)}]
to get the other behavior.

Thank you, Alan for the suggestion.
I tried as you said: \cite[alternative=authoryears,righttext={{, p.
3}}][Knuth1984].
Yet the result is this: Knuth (1984), , p. 3
If I leave out the first comma, the result is: Knuth (1984), p. 3
Righttext probably refers to the text outside the parentheses.
Thank you in advance,
Robert.

Using the APA specification:
\usebtxdefinitions
[apa]
you can then
\cite[alternative=authoryears,righttext={{, p.\nbsp 12}}] [Knuth1984]
mentions ….
The tricky part concerning righttext= is the double {{ }}, needed
because the text contains a comma. The reason for this is simple, as
righttext is a comma-separated list, where each entry corresponds to a
cited reference, as in \cite[righttext={a,b}] [ref1,ref2]
so a is associated with ref1 and b is associated with ref2.

Dear List members,
For my academic work with context I need the following cite according
to Apa standards:
Knuth (1984, p. 12) mentions ….
The matrix is this:
AUTHOR (YYYY, p.~n).
I reckon this can somehow be accomplished with the \setupbtx command.
(Standard these and other variants are possible: AUTHOR (YYYY) and
AUTHOR YYYY, p. n.)
I tried different setups: \setupbtx[apa:cite:authoryear], and
\setupbtx[apa:cite:authoryears], I played with the lefttext,
righttext and other options, but none of them give the desired result.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Regards,
Robert
