You need to replace the line with "dots <- as.list(c(y, lambda))" with this
dots <- list(y, lambda)
You could also replace the two lines
dots <- as.list(c(y, lambda))
do.call(dcom, dots)
with the single line
do.call(dcom, list(y, lambda))
See the description of the argument "args" of do.call.
You should now get the same answer as for func1.
Deciding if this is correct is up to you.
