I keep getting this error only in executable mode: undefined function or method 'edit' for input arguments of type 'char'

For some reason I keep getting the following error only when I am running my program in a .exe format: undefined function or method 'edit' for input arguments of type 'char'. It happens when the command 'open' is done on a .m file. I have never had this problem in the past, any ideas?

If a variable was named, it would attempt to open the variable in the workspace viewer (which does not exist in a compiled executable.) Otherwise if it determines that the name corresponds to a .m file in the MATLAB path, it would attempt to open the variable in the MATLAB editor, but that does not exist in a compiled executable.

If you are attempting to fire up a non compiled version of MATLAB to edit the .m then you cannot do it using open() and instead need to use winopen() or system()
