Hi, i am having issue to run a VAR model were the following error is flagged:

>> VARmodel

Not enough input arguments.

Error in VARmodel (line 33)

[nobs, nvar] = size(ENDO);

Should I have to quote nobs and nvar?

Yes I did :D apologies. Below you have the coding but i cannot see the function as a result except for the companion VAR that is only a partial result. Maybe i should try to go for the example:

Perform vector autogressive (VAR) estimation with OLS

%========================================================================
% [VAR, VARopt] = VARmodel(ENDO,nlag,const,EXOG,nlag_ex)
% -----------------------------------------------------------------------
% INPUT
%	- ENDO: an (nobs x nvar) matrix of y-vectors
%	- nlag: lag length
% -----------------------------------------------------------------------
% OPTIONAL INPUT
%	- const: 0 no constant; 1 constant; 2 constant and trend; 3 constant 
%       and trend^2 [dflt = 0]
%	- EXOG: optional matrix of variables (nobs x nvar_ex)
%	- nlag_ex: number of lags for exogeonus variables [dflt = 0]
% -----------------------------------------------------------------------
% OUTPUT
%   - VAR: structure including VAR estimation results
%   - VARopt: structure including VAR options (see VARoption)
% -----------------------------------------------------------------------
% EXAMPLE
%   - See VARToolbox_Code.m in "../Primer/"
%% Check inputs

if ~exist('const','var')
    const = 1;
end
VAR.const = const;
% Check if there are exogenous variables 
if exist('EXOG','var')
    [nobs2, nvar_ex] = size(EXOG);
    % Check that ENDO and EXOG are conformable
    if (nobs2 ~= nobs)
        error('var: nobs in EXOG-matrix not the same as y-matrix');
    end
    clear nobs2
    % Check if there is lag order of EXOG, otherwise set it to 0
    if ~exist('nlag_ex','var')
        nlag_ex = 0;
    end
    VAR.EXOG = EXOG;
