I need to report the U value of the ranksum test in my paper, but I am not sure what command for me to use to get this value in MATLAB. Can somebody explain?

See the section under ‘More About’ on the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test to find out how to calculate the U-statistic from the rank sum test W-statistic. The rank sum is available by asking for the third 'stats' output from the ranksum function.

The maximum U value should be the product of the two sample size, for 2 samples indepedent test. But MATLAB gave me a ranksum value of 150 in
[p h stats] = ranksum([a], [b])
where size(a) = 6 size(b) = 16. It doesn't make any sense

That is not the impression I get from reading the Wikipedia article on the Mann-Whitney U-Test. See the section on Calculations.
I only use the rank sum test (the ranksum function), not the Mann-Whitney U-test, so I have no experience with it.
