I have a tool created by using Matlab 2016, now I am using it with Matlab 2019. I got 'Error when calling DOS' error while running it. However when I go to the line where the error happens (the command for running a .bat file) and run the command manually, it works. How can I solve this problem? I copy the related part . I got the error at the last line
% run batch
if ~err
% command=['cd "' dir '" & "components.bat"'];
command=[dir(1) ': & cd "' dir '" & "' filename '.bat"'];
err=dos(command)

If you use the debugger, you can step through the code line by line. I do not see, which line causes the display of the error message. Check, what the contents of err is.

Well certainly you agree that dir should not be the variable name for the folder. I suggest she try my code below (scroll down for it).
Using their code, I made a file called mybatch.bat and just put "dir" into it to get a directory listing. I tested it with this code
dir = pwd;
filename = 'myBatch';
command=[dir(1) ': & cd "' dir '" & "' filename '.bat"']
status = dos(command)
and it ran fine, putting the directory listing into MATLAB's command window. If the file is not there, I get an error but not the error they got. I'm using R2021b.
Again, I suggest you try my more robust code below, which checks to make sure that the batch file exists before calling dos().

dir is a built-in function name. Do NOT use it as the name of a variable. Use folder instead. Try this:
folder = 'C:\';
filename = 'myBatchFile.bat'
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, filename)
if ~isfile(fullFileName)
errorMessage = sprintf('Error: file does not exist:\n%s')
uiwait(errordlg(errorMessage));
return;
end
commandLine = sprintf('%s: & cd "%s" & "%s"\n', folder(1), folder, filename)
err = dos(command)
