i am trying to save variables >2Gb to separate .mat files from within a parfor loop. I have written a parsave function and explecitly called '-v7.3' from within my parsave function. See below.

function parsave(file,camData)
    save(file,'camData','-v7.3')
end

However, whenever the data gets to this point, I get the

"Could not save because data was larger than 2GB. Use -v7.3 to save variables larger than 2GB" warning.

Does anyone know why this is/how I can get around this issue? It seems weird that MatLab calls this issue when I've explicitly told it to act on it.

I've tested the following code in R2019b but couldn't reproduce the warning which you got. It works well.

parfor ii=1:2
    a = ones(2^31+ii, 1);
    fname = sprintf("result_%d.mat", ii);
    parsave(fname, a)
end
function parsave(file, var)
    save(file, 'var', '-v7.3')
end
