I am struggling to switch the set of used agenda org files between

I tried something like

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
     '(
        ("k" . "Kundenbezogene / Ketegoriebezogene TODOs ...")
       ("ka" tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"ADMIN\"")
       ("kP" tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"PRIVAT\""
         ((org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org/PRIVAT/PRIVAT.org")))))
Playing with customize I came up with this possibility:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
     '(
        ("k" . "Kundenbezogene / Ketegoriebezogene TODOs ...")
       ("ka" tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"ADMIN\"")
       ("kP" tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"PRIVAT\""
         ((org-agenda-files
           '("~/org/PRIVAT/PRIVAT.org"))))))
Will that do it?

Dan, thank you. I somehow does and doesn't.
After using the command I get the "private" entries.
After using another command analogous to this it seems I cannot reset the org-agenda-files variable. Looks like it only adds files to it?
I played around a lot but could not get it to function as wanted.

Hi Rainer, Dan

I just tested this, with

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("ka" "aaa" alltodo ""
         ((org-agenda-files
           '("~/lib/emacs/work/org-mode/test/a.org"))))
        ("kb" "bbb" alltodo ""
         ((org-agenda-files
           '("~/lib/emacs/work/org-mode/test/b.org"))))))

with small files a.org and b.org containing just one TODO entry, and of course my full suite of TODO entries available with `C-c a t'.

And then I do

C-c a t
C-c a a
C-c a b
C-c a t

and it all works just fine, going back end forth between these in any sequence.....

Anyway, the syntax is quite complex.
I wonder if some more examples for changing agenda files when executing custom commands would be helpful. Anyone else who wants to see Agenden at home from different sets of agenda files?

I think a good way is also to keep the list of agenda files in a file, like
~/.agenda_files_home and ~/.agenda_files_work.

The you can have different sets of files, and switch by making org- agenda-files

(defun org-my-toggle-agenda-file-set ()
 (interactive)
 (if (equal org-agenda-files "~/.agenda_files_work")
     (setq org-agenda-files "~/.agenda_files_home")
   (setq org-agenda-files "~/.agenda_files_work"))
 (message "Using %s" org-agenda-files))
