MATLAB: Lsqcurvefit error when using example

lsqcurvefit

When I copy/paste
myfun = @(x,xdata) x(1)*exp(x(2)*xdata);
% Assume you determined xdata and ydata experimentally
xdata = [0.9 1.5 13.8 19.8 24.1 28.2 35.2 60.3 74.6 81.3];
ydata = [455.2 428.6 124.1 67.3 43.2 28.1 13.1 -0.4 -1.3 -1.5];
x0 = [100; -1];
[x] = lsqcurvefit(myfun,x0,xdata,ydata);
into the command window I get the following error.
??? Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.

myfun = @(x,xdata) x(1)*exp(x(2)*xdata);
% Assume you determined xdata and ydata experimentally
xdata = [0.9 1.5 13.8 19.8 24.1 28.2 35.2 60.3 74.6 81.3];
ydata = [455.2 428.6 124.1 67.3 43.2 28.1 13.1 -0.4 -1.3 -1.5];
x0 = [100; -1];
[x] = lsqcurvefit(myfun,x0,xdata,ydata);
Local minimum possible.
lsqcurvefit stopped because the final change in the sum of squares relative to its initial value is less than the default value of the function tolerance.

   myfun(x,xdata)
ans =
Columns 1 through 7
       455.38       428.54       123.34        67.18       43.466       28.698       14.126
Columns 8 through 10
       1.1124      0.26145      0.13267
Works for me. Do you have another function 'myfun' somewhere?
