Thank you for your consideration of this question. I have tried both your suggestions. However, the data is not loaded within the function.
When I specify load("mydata.Rdata",.globalEnv), the data is loaded into the top level environment, and the function does access the data in the top level environment. However, I would like to load the data into the function environment, so that the data goes away when the function terminates.
