Conver Data Group List to static variables

I am doing this as the virtual server associated with a few iRules are accessing them that would demote CMP

I'm not sure I understand this statement. If you're using [class ] syntax to query the data group, then that shouldn't be demoting CMP. I'd further add that if by chance it was demoting CMP, the act of accessing it RULE_INIT, if only to store the values somewhere else, would have the same effect.

In any case, to enumerate the values in a data group, you can use the class get command:
