Hello list,
please take a look at this:
\setupbackgrounds[text][frame=on]
\starttext
Preceding text.
\startplacetable[location={none,fit,force,here,middle}]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD $a_{11}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{12}$ \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD $a_{21}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{22}$ \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
Following text.
\page
Preceding text.
\startplacetable[location={none,fit,force,here,left}]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD $a_{11}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{12}$ \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD $a_{21}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{22}$ \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
Following text.
\page
Preceding text.
\startplacetable[location={none,fit,force,here,right}]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD $a_{11}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{12}$ \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD $a_{21}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{22}$ \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
Following text.
\stoptext
It's the same table repeated on three pages, with some preceding text
and some following text.
Only the "location" option of \startplacetable is modified across
pages: "middle" in page 1, "left" in page 2, "right" in page 3.
When I use location=middle (page 1), the table is centered and the
"Following text" goes after (under) the table. This is what I want to
achieve: the following text should be under the table.
Using location=left or location=right, the "Following text" is not
placed under the table. How can I achieve that?
Thanks in advance,
Massi

Consider your third example, slightly modified:
\startplacetable[location={none,fit,force,here,right}]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD $a_{11}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{12}$ \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD $a_{21}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{22}$ \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
Following text.
Following text.
Following text.
Following text.
And this example, with a frame around the table:
\startframed[frame=off,align=right]
\startplacetable[location={none,fit,force,here}]
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD $a_{11}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{12}$ \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD $a_{21}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{22}$ \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
\stopframed
Following text.
Following text.
Following text.
Following text.
The float location left (right) allows flowing text around the float.
You do not want that, so do not use it.

Thank you Rik,
you solved my problem.
I've realized that \startplacetable is not necessary:
\starttext
\startframed[frame=off, align=flushleft, % table aligned to
the left width=broad, % the frame takes all the text
width offset=overlay, % no space around the
table ]
\bTABLE \bTR \bTD $a_{11}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{12}$ \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD $a_{21}$ \eTD \bTD $a_{22}$ \eTD \eTR\eTABLE\stopframed
Following text.
Following text.
Following text.
Following text.
\stoptext
Best greetings,
Massi

Massi,
Whether or not you need \startplacefloat (where the float can be a
figure, graphic, intermezzo, or table, or a user-defined item) depends
on the requirements of the document. Floats are typically separate
entities that do not appear in the linear flow of the text, but instead
appear in a convenient place close to where they are referenced by the
text. In addition to providing suggestions to the placement algorithm
for positioning the float and handling caption formatting, the
\startplacefloat mechanism manages the generation of reference
information. If your tables are always set inline and do not need to be
referenced within the text or in lists of floats (via \placelist), then
you do not need \startplacefloat.
