Perhaps you should post a more complete example. It is very
unclear as to what you are trying to do here. If all you are
attempting to do is be able to use the interpolating function
inside your module, why create the local variables xx and Y and
set them to Z, the argument passed to your function? You could
simply use Z[.1] where you were trying to use Y[.1]. For example,
In[1]:= f = Interpolation[{1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5}];
In[2]:= test[x_] :=
Module[{dummy}, Table[x[n], {n, 1, 2, .2}]]
In[3]:= test[f]
Out[3]= {1.,1.248,1.464,1.656,1.832,2.}
