unable to pass command line arguments to matlab script

I'm not using a function here. I just want to pass an argument to matlab script from command line.

Here is the command I'm using,

Matlab 2020a -batch "x=100691;run <matlab>.m"

x is the variable I want to set from command line.

I end getting this error,

Unrecognized function or variable 'x'.

What's the rest of the line intended to be doing??? Specifically, what's <matlab>.m? It's going to pass the literal string you type.

What's the script look like?

it was a complex code and confidential, so cannot put it here.

I could resolve the issue. I had

clear all;

in the beginning of the program and I removed it and its working now.

I would say this is a lesson in using functions to do actual work. That way you have a documented interface without such issues.
