Hi Nasser,
Debugging commands are not designed to work when MATLAB is started as an automation server. This is because most applications that use the Automation server run without user interaction and would not benefit from having messages displayed to the command window.
The debugging functions that will not work in Automation mode include:
FPRINTF
SSCANF
DISP
A workaround is to use the MSGBOX command to display a status message in a pop-up message box. It is possible to modify the string displayed in a message box instead of creating new message boxes for each status message. For example:
m = msgbox('Original Message')
t= findobj(m,'type','text')
set(t,'String',{'Modified Message'})
Another option is to store the output of a debugging command such as DISP into a string by using the EVALC function. This string can then be pulled into the client application and displayed for debugging purposes.
