It seems like I can only open a file when I do it outside a routine,

For example:

	<<"Spec95_cc1_Amptjp.Cold.mat";

works perfectly, but:

	(* Read the input file holding cold miss data and updates missTable *)
	Clear[GetColdMiss] ;
	GetColdMiss[fileName_] := (
		Print["Opening file '", fileName, "' :"];
		<< fileName ;
		(*...*)
	);
	GetColdMiss["Spec95_cc1_Amptjp.Cold.mat"];

Doesn't ... I get the messages:

	Opening file 'Spec95_cc1_Amptjp.Cold.mat' :
	Get::noopen: Cannot open fileName

Anyone knows what's going on?
