Bdog,

Is it possible to modify a variable in an if, then, else statement?

Yes.
Using your example rearrange it as:

Mtest1:=If(C>5,10,5);
Mtest2:=If(Mtest1>7,14,-22);
Mtest3:=If(Mtest2>0,....etc.);
Mtest*;

You can work around the data array assignment in arguments by using individual "mtest" output to further modify and define a final indicator in steps. What do you have in mind?

bdog,

You can't modify a variable in an if statement. You can use an if to conditionally set the values in an array variable.
Why don't you use:

mtest1:=if(C>5,10,5);
mtest1
