As i know you can't use "if" in a variable, also i'm not sure what you mean with ","? it is wrong and you want to use "." or you mean a array with 2 values?

anyway if it's "." your expression should looks like this

b = effect("StartPlus")("Punkt")[0];
function funName() {if (786.1<b)
{
return 786.1
}
else
{ return b}};
a = funName();
[960,a];

786,1 is not an array so you can't compare it to b. The if statement would need to read if([786, 1] < some other array) to make any sense.

b is defined as the second value in an array generated by the "StartPlus/Punket" property. If you wanted to use b in the if statement then it would have to read if ( 786 < b) so you are comparing apples to apples.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do but the expression you wrote says "b equals a single value and if a value comprised of one number, a comma and another number is less than the single value of be, do something." Unfortunately, that doesn't make any sense.
