Is it possible to write to a MATLAB workspace parameter from within a TLC file?

I'm generating a level-2 matlab s-function based on a m file and it is working perfectly since I'm able to modify workspace variable from m file.

However, when I generate code or simulate in accelerator mode, I need to provide a tlc file that does the same thing than the m file and I have hard time to do so. I'm not able to modify a workspace variable from the tlc.

I tried the following :

%assign b = FEVAL("evalin","base","var1 = 10")

But it doesn't work. It is based on the following post: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-D4U5ES/index.html?product=RT&solution=1-D4U5ES

Thanks for your help.

David.

I'm guessing this is not working, because you are doing the equivalent of:

>> b = evalin('base','var1 = 10')

When executed in the MATLAB command window, I see this error:

>> b = evalin('base','var1 = 10')
Error: The expression to the left of the equals sign is not a valid target for an assignment.

Try just:

%<FEVAL("evalin","base","var1 = 10;")>

Hi Kaustubha,

You are right about the "b = evalin('base','var1 = 10')" not working. In fact I tried the following "b = feval('evalin','base','var1', '10')"which wasn't working either but no error.

Your suggestion seems to cause an error when generating code from tlc. Here's what I got with only your line in the output function of the tlc:

If I comment the new suggested line it compiles.

Thanks.

David: What exactly is the code generating around line#33 of two_acc.c? This file may be hard to read, so I would recommend performing a regular code-generation (Ctrl+B) and see if you can reproduce the same error?

I had the same problem. Try this inside your TLC code:

%matlab assignin("base", "YourWorkspaceVar", %<foo> )

base: Matlab's base workspace; YourWorkspaceVar: Workspace new variable; foo: a variable inside the TLC workspace to be exported to base workspace;
