Do you mean "apply"?  Or does the "Aaply" function come from a separate 
package?

You are forgetting to include details here, specifically, a reproducible 
example of a function called 'myfunct' that exhibits the behavior you 
aren't expecting.

'myfunct' is going to have to take a parameter (say, 'x') that contains 
the data.  If you call it 'x', you might try replacing z above by x["z"] 
perhaps?  It's difficult to say more until we have more details.
