You can add “commentchar=\letterpercent” to your separatedlist definition which will make % the character for comments, the setups hack isn’t necessary.

I have tried to do it like that (from Mojca Miklavec's "My Way"): \usemodule[database] \unprotect \startsetups Data:unix \catcode`\%=\@@comment \stopsetups \protect \defineseparatedlist [Data] [ separator=tab, before=\bTABLE, after=\eTABLE, first=\bTR, last=\eTR, left=\bTD, right=\eTD, setups=unix ] \starttext \startData % time LG LG-SD HG HG-SD p 24 0.74 0.36 1.19 0.51 0.15 48 0.90 0.65 1.45 0.54 0.21 72 1.23 0.35 1.59 0.59 0.27 \stopData \stoptext ... but still, context stops with an error. I have also tried to use \# like in the My Way example without success. Is this supposed to work?
