Passing .dat files as function parameter

Hi All, I want to create a function that takes two .dat files as input. The output is not required, as it will be only graphs. the function is:

 function y = reAdfiLe(file1, file2)
 load file1;
load file2;           %loading two files
amp1 = file1(:,2);        
amp2 = file2(:,2);  %taking 2nd column of files
a = max(amp1);

as I call this function

 >>reAdfiLe(myfile1,myfile2)

it gives error "Undefined function or variable 'myfile1'." just cannot understand whats the matter.

cannot attach .dat file, hence attaching .xls format

 function y = reAdfiLe(file1, file2)
  y = nan;
  file1_data = load(file1);
  file2_data = load(file2);           %loading two files
  amp1 = file1_data(:,2);        
  amp2 = file2_data(:,2);  %taking 2nd column of files
  a = max(amp1);

You would call this with

reAdfiLe('myfile1', 'myfile2')

Thanks Sir, function will be called as

    reAdfiLe('myfile1.dat','myfile2.dat')
