Undefined function or variable 'xlim' Error

Hi.

All of a sudden I get the following error when running a function

Undefined function or variable 'xlim'.
Error in ba (line 50)
xlim([100 500])

I am using R2019a and have tried prior recomendations i found on the forum like the following:

restoredefaultpath 
rehash toolboxcache

but this did not work. If i remove the

xlim([100 500])

line (line 50 in function) or change xlim to ylim then it runs fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

I get

Error using run
Too many input arguments.

im an idiot...here is the result....

which -all xlim
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019a\toolbox\matlab\graph3d\xlim.m

That looks good. Do you have a variable called "xlim" created when you try to run xlim()? try

clear all
plot(1:10)
xlim([0 15])

[HpW]

that code works fine

Ack. i figured it out....

I must have accidently deleted something in my function declaration which should be

function [xlim_a, xlim_b] = ba(var1, var2)

the typo deleted the "_a" and made it:

function [xlim, xlim_b] = ba(var1, var2)

fixing the typo fixed the issue....thanks so much for your help!!

Probably good example to not name variables close to main matlab functions.....
