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
\stoptest

\stoptext


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]

\stoptext
