If has an attribute HoldRest so when z>0 isn't True or False there is no c in f[z]. to get If[z > 0, 2, 0] you should somhow evaluate "a" first f[z_] := If[z > 0, Evaluate@a, 0] f[z] /. c -> 1 or f[z_] := If[z > 0, a, 0] f[z] /. If[a1_, a2__] :> If[a1, Evaluate@a2] /. c -> 1 and you'll get almost what you want: If[z > 0, 2 1, 0]
