Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\def\SystemUser{whoami}
\def\CheckUser{\processaction[\SystemUser][whoami=>whm]}
\starttext
\doifelse{\CheckUser}{whm}{This is the right user.}
{This is the wrong user.}
\doifelse{\SystemUser}{whoami}{This is the right user.}
{This is the wrong user.}
\SystemUser\ is \CheckUser
\stoptext
Why doesn’t the first \doifelse work? What am I missing there?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

because \processaction is not a fully expandable command

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
Is there no other way to get the text value (so that it could be
compared with \doif) from a command that assigns values using
\processaction?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

\setvalue{SomeName:foo}{one}
\setvalue{SomeName:bar}{two}
% and another 50 names
\def\SomeName{foo}
% \def\SomeName{bar}
\doifelse{\getvalue{SomeName:\SomeName}}{two}
{YES}
{NOP}

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I didn’t know of this alternative to \processaction.
Many thanks for your help,
