Hi everyone,

How does one place an object name (in this case a vector name) into another
object (while essentially masking the values of the first object?

For example:

> JOBSAT<-rnorm(40)
>
> CI<-function(x,alpha){
+ result<-cbind(x,mean=mean(x),alpha)
+ print(result)
+ }
> CI(JOBSAT,.05)

I want this to return:

Variable    mean              alpha
JOBSTAT 0.02844131  0.05
Instead, I am getting:

                x       mean alpha
