There is a reasonable chance your results may problematic, if you do not scale things. While you may get a result, you will have no idea if has has any usefulness. Possibly it will not, lacking that scaling.
Is there a built-in option for this? How could there be? MATLAB cannot read your mind. MATLAB does what you tell it to do. If it did not, instead modifying your problems as it thinks might be the case, this would itself be a serious problem.
How do you scale variables? Do you understand that, for example, in the metric system, you can work in meters, kilometers, nanometers, centimeters, etc. Another example, is to consider the distance to the nearest star is about 4 light years. A nice, easy number to work with. Would you rather record that distance in feet? Millimeters? Picometers?
Depending on the units chosen, your numbers will have MANY orders of magnitude difference. But YOU need to make that choice as is appropriate.
