[Rafael Guerra]

Serge,

Thank you very much for your reply, your suggested solution worked like a
charm.

Best regards
Rafael

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
