Sorry for the noise…
I found the answer to my last question in module-01.pdf, pages 92 and 93: the right definition is
\define[3]\RandomCoeff{%
\setevalue{Coeff#1}{\ctxlua{tex.print(math.random(#2,#3))}}
}
that is one has to use \setevalue instead of \setvalue (that is \edef instead of \def).
Best regards: OK
