This will do nothing because:

a ) The closing brace for the containing function is after a comment delimiter.

b ) All well and good that the function within the function is described elsewhere, but you show no link to or any other evidence of that 'elsewhere'.

c ) 'arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4' is only one parameter. It should be either:

'arg1',arg2','arg3','arg4'

or:

arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4

or some combination. With the quotes, the arguments are literals, without them they are variable values.
