R help - Jan 2012 - Passing multiple arguments to a function through sapply() XXXX

Hello everyone,

How does one pass multiple arguments of a user defined function to that
function when called within sapply()?

I have the following:
> myna<-function(x,miss.val) {x[x %in% miss.val]<-NA;x}
> mydataNA3<-sapply(mydataNA,c(x=myna,miss.val=c(9,99)))
Error in match.fun(FUN) :
  'c(x = myna, miss.val = c(9, 99))' is not a function, character or
symbol
> mydataNA3

Thanks!

Dan

In the absence of test data this is a guess:

mydataNA3<-sapply(mydataNA, myna, miss.val=c(9,99) )
