Delayed expansion of macro?

Delayed expansion of macro?

[Gerben Wierda]

I need to use a macro like this:

\def\typeSQLfile#1{%
\startsetups header:margin
  \framed
    [frame=off,
     orientation=90,
     width=2\leftmarginwidth,
     height=\textheight,
     align={top,middle}]
    {#1\hfil\pagenumber\hfil\IfSQprojectname}
\stopsetups
\typefile[SQL]{#1}}

In the following setting:

\starttext
\typeSQLfile{Library-procedures/details.pls}
\typeSQLfile{Library-procedures/hlx$requery.pls}
\stoptext

This results in two problems;
1. The pagenumber is the same on each page for a file
2. The file name with the $ in it crashes the typefile argument (file  
not found), where \typefile itself handles the name OK.

How do I solve these? In LaTeX I would probably use \protect on  
\pagenumber.

Adding to this, it also crashes (not only file not found) the TeX job  
if there is a _ in the filename (missing $ inserted).
