Hi Bas,

to recycle the return value of 

[if]
in such a way, it would be required to 
[set]
the value within the 
{script
} section...

set PORT [if {${APP} equals class-test} then { set x 81} else {set x 83}]

... but this doesn't make any sense at all. It would be better to use just...

if {${APP} equals class-test} then {
    set PORT 81
} else {
    set PORT 83
}

Note: I didn't get the point of "data-class"? Do you want to use LTM datagroups to resolve the APP to PORT information?

Cheers, Kai
