Automated Latex report of calculations: works in full Matlab, does not work in standalone ?

• Context: I developed a calculation tool for image processing. The program runs through a GUI. I made the tool available for my colleagues in other divisions worldwide by deploying the script to a standalone .exe-file.
• Goal: To be able to have an automated report print out of the results.
• How: I create a .tex-file in the script for this, using code like

     fid = fopen('Report.tex','w');
     fprintf(fid,'%s\n','\documentclass{article}');
     fprintf(fid,'%s\n','\begin{document}');

     ...%%%code to include the graphs and numbers saved in the Matlab-scripts
     ...%%%in the .TeX-code   
     fprintf(fid,'%s\n','\end{document}');
     fclose(fid);
     dos(['pdflatex Report -job-name='])

• Problem: This works perfectly when running the script in 'full' Matlab mode. IN STANDALONE MODE HOWEVER, the script does not manage to write the .TeX-script.
• Question: Does anyone know how to solve this ? Is there any specific measure I must take/package to load/.... in order to be able to write a .tex-file in standalone mode ?

Many thanks for any help !

Are you sure that it does not produce the file, but in a directory that you do not expect? The current directory for standalone executables is not the directory that you launch the executable from. You would be safer to use uiputfile() to have the user select the directory and filename.

Good point, will check on that.

Thanks for the suggestion.
