MATLAB: Problem with displaying output of executable

Question

I have a function which produces a string output:

out = myfunction(arg1, arg2)

The last line of the function is disp(out).

I used the deploytool to produce an executable (for Windows). However, when I call myfunction arg1 arg2 in cmd, I do not see any output.

I know the function is working correctly because if I replace disp by writing to a file, that works.

Also what is strange is that if I replace disp() by error(), I do see the error message.

Has anybody had this problem?

If you're compiling it as a 'Windows Standalone Application' switch that to a 'Console Standalone Application'.
