How to make a forced exit from Matlab with returning a code?

Hi all, I try to exit from Matlab in a script and want to return a code to the command line. I know that there is the command

exit(code);

to do that. But in my case, some unsaved Simulink files prevent me from exiting. That's why I use

exit force;

to exit from Matlab without beeing asked to save the file first. But this command does not allow to pass a code to the command line. I tried something like

exit(code, 'force')

But that didn't work. Any other ideas?

Thanks a lot, Ralf

in the command window do this: ctrl+c and it will force the code to stop running

Sorry, I need to exit from a Matlab script. I am not sitting in front of the PC when this (batch of) scripts run.

How can I set an exit code using exit, leave?

[madhan ravi]

Try it in your script and experiment what happens

[Walter Roberson]

There is no leave in MATLAB. There are exit and quit.

exit supports a return code but quit does not.

Ah Thank you sir Walter till date I had been using it together but didn’t looked into it so deeper though :)

[Ralf]

Thank you, Walter. But is there a way to combine an exit code with the force statement?

[Walter Roberson]

It turns out that although the two are documented differently, they take the same options. However, only one option is permitted; it must be 'force' or 'cancel' or a scalar integer (negative values are permitted.) It is possible that there are additional undocumented options.
