MATLAB: Trading Toolbox – Retrieve Option Chain from Interactive Brokers

interactive brokersoptionsTrading Toolbox

I'm trying to use the Interactive Brokers functionality below to return an option chain including all strike prices and expires for a given security. Is this possible to do this with Matlab's Trading Toolbox? I can't seem to make it work in Matlab R2017a. Thanks.

function d = getchain(ticker)
