It's impossible to say with the information you gave. My guess is that
your function does not require the variables z1,z2,z3 as input or does
not handle these correctly internally. If your function does not require
the variable names you should not return some symbols that you created
within your code, there is no good reason to do so. If your function
accepts variable names and you still get contextname`z1 in your output,
you are doing something wrong within your code. In either case, if you
give an example of how your function is called and what it does you
might get more useful help...
