Hello Wolfgang.
There is any problem in first method.
I get message "Nested tabulate is not (yet) supported".
Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar
Here is problematic example:
\usemodule[database]
\define[5]\TestCommand
{\starttabulate
\NC FIRSTNAME \EQ #1 \NC\NR
\NC SURNAME \EQ #2 \NC\NR
\NC CITY \EQ #3 \NC\NR
\NC STREET \EQ #4 \NC\NR
\NC POSTCODE \EQ #5 \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\page}
\define[5]\TestOtherCommand{#1, #2, #3, #4, #5\par}
\defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand]
\defineseparatedlist[othertest][command=\TestOtherCommand]
\starttext
Method 1:
\starttest
John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 115 00
Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20
Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54
\stoptest
\startothertest

Hello ConTeXist.
Obviously I have a problem with expansion. My question is:
How can I place the elements of the list into macros for later use?
Basically, my point is that I want assign individual values into macros within
the cycle of and those subsequently used in a buffer to creating my own
report.
Perhaps is can be understood what I want from my minimal example.
I suggest to use a different method to store and load the data. The first method
is to use the database module (you can also use a external file for the data),
the other method is the \setvariables command where you can use keys for
the entries.
Method 1:
\usemodule[database]
\define[5]\TestCommand
{\starttabulate
\NC FIRSTNAME \EQ #1 \NC\NR
\NC SURNAME \EQ #2 \NC\NR
\NC CITY \EQ #3 \NC\NR
\NC STREET \EQ #4 \NC\NR
\NC POSTCODE \EQ #5 \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\page}
\defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand]
\starttext
\starttest
John, Smith, Prague, Václavské náměstí 20, 11500
Peter, Paul, Brno, Nad struhou 232/12, 234 20
Annie, Walter, Ostrava, Pod lipami 7, 321 54

Method 2:
\startsetups[test]
\starttabulate
\NC FIRSTNAME \EQ \getvariable{test}{firstname} \NC\NR
\NC SURNAME \EQ \getvariable{test}{surname} \NC\NR
\NC CITY \EQ \getvariable{test}{city} \NC\NR
\NC STREET \EQ \getvariable{test}{street} \NC\NR
\NC POSTCODE \EQ \getvariable{test}{postcode} \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\page
\stopsetups
\setvariable{test}{set}{\setups{test}}
\starttext
\setvariables
[test]
[firstname=John,
surname=Smith,
city=Prague,
street=Václavské náměstí 20,
postcode=11500]
\setvariables
[test]
[firstname=Peter,
surname=Paul,
city=Brno,
street=Nad struhou 232/12,
postcode=234 20]
\setvariables
[test]
[firstname=Annie,
surname=Walter,
city=Ostrava,
street=Pod lipami 7,
postcode=321 54]
