Works for me, so there's something you're not telling us.... Possibly
that x is not a vector (a data frame, maybe?).

(And "it's wrong" is not one of the official error messages in any
language. Posting guide, reproducible code, etc.)

The whole thing is an inefficient way to do  x <- pmin(x,1), though.
