[Scilab-users] Scilab function with variable input and output arguments

[Serge Steer]

May be you can simply define your function as

function output_matrix_list = myfunction(dz,input_matrix_list);

and call it as follow:

out = myfunction(dz,backuplist)

for i=1:N
   process the matrix out(i)
end
