You can use the commalist environment:

Another way is to use the database module:

Thank you so much, Jairo and Wolfgang.
All your solutions work fine!

I had been looking for info on loops and some other ideas for a few days
already.  I never thought about "lists".   :-)


Below is another version.

Using the \startsetups block to set the content for the loop/list makes it easier to strucuture (format) the text. With \recursestring you can print the value of the current loop entry.

The list of entries for the loop can be moved from the argument itself to a macro. To make adding and removing (can be done by commenting entries with %) you can use the \starttexdefinition environment with each name on a separate line.

%%%% begin example
\starttext

\startsetups [NameEntry]
    Person Number \recursestring\par
\stopsetups

\doloopoverlist{One,Two,Three,Four}{\directsetup{NameEntry}}

\blank

%\defineexpandable\NameList
%  {One,
%   Two,
%   Three,
%   Four}

\starttexdefinition NameList
    One,
    Two,
    Three,
    Four
\stoptexdefinition

\doloopoverlist{\NameList}{\directsetup{NameEntry}}

\stoptext
%%%% end example
