Dear List,
is there a Context function/macro which enables me to set
a box with verbatim file input. I.e. something
similar to :
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\verbatimfileinput{FileName}}
regards
Erik

You have to use a \vbox because a \hbox would put everything in a single line.
The important question is why do you want to store the text in a box.
When you plan to frame the text something like this can be used:
\definetyping
[framedfile]
[file]
[before={\startframedtext[width=max]},
after=\stopframedtext]
\starttext
\typefile[framedfile]{knuth.tex}
\stoptext
To store text and reuse it buffers are the best tool:
\startbuffer[ward]
The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and
has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening
whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is
like the effect of an old-age patient who smokes many packs
of cigarettes per day – and we humans are the cigarettes.
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\typebuffer[ward]
\getbuffer[ward]
\stoptext

It puts the “title” (in the example "Zapf (…)”) in the box and not the text.
The text itself for the frame is put in a framedtext environment.
