Well, what happens? "Doesn't work" covers a lot of ground, and you don't provide a reproducible example.
Also, why all the > at the beginning PDF lines? Your R prompts shouldn't look like that when entering a function, and they make it impossible to just cut and paste the code. Not that we have any data to try it on, either. However, I'm going to take a wild guess that you meant to call the argument to the first function am rather than ams because you use an object named the former in the function, ands not the latter. I'm further going to guess that you have an object named am in your workspace, so the function is running from the console because it is silently using that object. But from another function it can't find it. So, your first function is not actually correct, and starting from a clean session would have shown you that, as would the process of making a reproducible example.
