Issue with running Multiple gravity assists code

For an interplanetary mission design involving multiple gravity assists, I have been trying to use the code. It requires to create a structure array and everytime I create and pass it to the function it throws an error saying "Too many input arguments". I am unable to understand how to circumvent the error. I would appreaciate if somebody could show me how to pass the parameters. I have also attached the MATLAB code titled as mga.m. This is my attempt:
t(1)=2000;
t(2)=112;
t(3)=376;
MGAproblem.sequence=[3 2 3];
MGAproblem.DVLaunch=2.98;
MGAproblem.objective.type='Orbit insertion';
MGAproblem.objective.rp=1E+5;
MGAproblem.objective.e=0;
yplot=1;
[J,rp,DVvec,Itime,FBalt,alph,Vrelin,Vrelout] = mga(t,MGAproblem,yplot)

At one time the code accepted yplot as aa third parameter but that was changed. Now set MGAproblem.yplot = 1

It still shows the same error. Too many input arguments.
did you also remove the yplot argument from the mga call?
Yes. It is giving a new error:
Reference to non-existent field 'DVlaunch'.
Error in mga (line 73)
DVlaunch = problem.DVlaunch; % launch DV (km/s)
Error in Untitled (line 10)
[J,rp,DVvec,Itime,FBalt,alph,Vrelin,Vrelout] = mga(t,MGAproblem)
in your code you assign to DVLaunch with capital L. You need to change it to lowercase L, DVlaunch
Oh oops! But it is giving a new error now:
Reference to non-existent field 'rpmin'.
Error in mga (line 100)
rpmin(2)=problem.rpmin.venus; %(Venus)
Error in Untitled (line 10)
[J,rp,DVvec,Itime,FBalt,alph,Vrelin,Vrelout] = mga(t,MGAproblem)
read the comments in the code to see how rpmin and related fields are used.
It looks to me that you will not need customobject fields as you do not have any seq entries greater than 9.
I am not able to understand that link of using rpmin.
The code has
%Reading the values for the minimum allowed pericentre radius of each planet
%
rpmin=zeros(6,1);
rpmin(2)=problem.rpmin.venus; %(Venus)
rpmin(3)=problem.rpmin.earth; %(Earth)
rpmin(4)=problem.rpmin.mars; %(Mars)
rpmin(5)=problem.rpmin.jupiter; %(Jupiter)
rpmin(6)=problem.rpmin.saturn; %(Saturn)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%Reading the penalty factors for low pericenter fly-bys. These can be
%interpreted as km/sec penalties for each km of violation
%
rpfact=zeros(6,1);
rpfact(2)=problem.rpfact.venus;
rpfact(3)=problem.rpfact.earth;
rpfact(4)=problem.rpfact.mars;
rpfact(5)=problem.rpfact.jupiter;
rpfact(6)=problem.rpfact.saturn;
so this implies that you need to set the fields
MGAproblem.rpmin.venus MGAproblem.rpmin.earth MGAproblem.rpmin.mars MGAproblem.rpmin.jupiter MGAproblem.rpmin.saturn
and
MGAproblem.rpfact.venus MGAproblem.rpfact.earth MGAproblem.rpfact.mars MGAproblem.rpfact.jupiter MGAproblem.rpfact.saturn
Thanks.
