After i press the pushbutton my gui closes

I was writing a GUI that has 2 push buttons. First button runs the script that loads the data from several excel files and stores them in structure named GeneralData, then I used assignin to transfer that variable to base workspace so it can be used by other push button that will plot that data. The problem is, after I press the First push button it loads the data (The data can be seen in the base workspace), but it closes the GUI. Is there some kind of hold on that works for GUI?

Thank you for your help.

% --- Executes on button press in pushbuttonLoadjs.
function pushbuttonLoadjs_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to pushbuttonLoadjs (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

 GUI_script_test
 %handles.GeneralData = GeneralData;
 assignin('base', 'GeneralData', GeneralData)

% --- Executes on button press in Plot.
function Plot_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to Plot (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)

% MUST FIND A WAY TO GET DATA FROM BASE WORKSPACE

Your file GUI_script_test probably contains a "clear all" command.

Oh, thank you, it actually had close all and clear all.
