Hello all,
I'm trying to modify a single column of a data frame to remove randomly half of 
the values. I want to do it within a function, but can not assign the modified 
column back into the data frame. It was easy and successful without a function, 
so I suspect the problem is the call of the single column within the function.

removedata<-function(datafull,var.removed)
{
attach(datafull)
NArandom<-rnorm(n=length(var.removed), mean=0, sd=1)
for (i in 1:length(var.removed))
  if(NArandom[i]>0) 
    var.removed[i]<-"NA" 
datamiss<<-datafull
detach(datafull)
}
