This comes from the ConTeXt manual (section 4, page 65)
\starttext
\setuplinespacing[height=1mm]
\stoptext

It gives an error:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.2 \setuplinespacing
                     [height=1mm]
? 

Two pages earlier there is
\starttext
\setupinterlinespace[height=2]
\stoptext

And this works, but I am not sure what the number values for height and depth mean. I guess fractions of the normalbaselineskip, but I could not find it defined in the text there.

What doesn't work is for example:
\starttext
\setupinterlinespace[height=1ex]
\stoptext

But sounds fairly natural to me. However, the error is:
! Missing number, treated as zero.

May I kindly suggest that some has a look at this?

This is superceded. \setuplinespacing does not exist
any more.

Explained quite well on the wiki:
