'Run Script as Batch Job' error

Selecting 'Run Script as Batch Job' on a script in the Folder view produces the following error:

Undefined function or variable 'parallel.internal.ui.runAsBatchJob'.

It looks to me like this is a bug with MATLAB. I'm using a Mac, and using MATLAB version 9.1.0.441655 (R2016b).

This looks like a problem with your MATLAB installation - I suggest contacting MathWorks support.

As may already know, the "runAsBatchJob" function should be present in the distcomp(Parallel Computing Toolbox) folder.

>> which -all 'parallel.internal.ui.runAsBatchJob'
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2016b\toolbox\distcomp\cluster\+parallel\+internal\+ui\runAsBatchJob.m

Can you verify that you have the "distcomp" folder inside your MATLABROOT\toolbox folder. If the folder is missing, you can try reinstalling the Parallel Computing Toolbox product and then you can use the above command to make sure that "runAsBatchJob" function is present.
