Your function uses return?
Probably not.

Well, if that is the case then there is a better way than doing global
assignments in a function.
Make sure myfunction returns the list of results with return() and don't do
global assignment with <<-
for( k in 1:5) {
dataname <- paste("data",k,sep="")
resname <- paste("res",k,sep="")
assign(resname, myfunction(get(dataname)))
}
