Any time I try to use the spline function previously running code gives the error message Attempt to execute SCRIPT spparms as a function: /Applicati​ons/MATLAB​_R2020a.ap​p/tool

Even if I try to run the example code from the Matlab help file I get this error. This ran fine previously. Thanks for any help.

Attempt to execute SCRIPT spparms as a function:

/Applications/MATLAB_R2020a.app/toolbox/matlab/sparfun/spparms.m

switching to the built-in function makima runs fine. Something changed with the spline function.

Hi,the error message may be due to following possible cause:

There is a user-defined function (.m file) that conflicts with a built-in MATLAB function.

For example, a user-defined function in a file named "spparms.m" would conflict with the built-in MATLAB function "spparms".

To resolve this issue, rename the user-defined function so it does not conflict with the built-in MATLAB function.

To determine the location of the function, open MATLAB and run the following command:

>> which -all <function name>%spparms

For more information about declaring functions, please see the following documentation:

Hope it helps!

This wasn't the problem. Thanks anyway.
