Using a Matlab file as an input argument in a function ?

Assume that I have a sampledata.mat array and I have to input it into a function myfun.

I have defined the function as below.

function myout = myfun(mydataset)

dataset = load(mydataset)  % is this correct way to use !

% code goes over here ...

end

Then I used the following syntax to execute myfun with corresponding arguments.

DataOut = myfun('sampledata.mat')

When I try to execute this, I am getting an error message saying,

Reference to a cleared variable mydataset !

(Note that I am working on the same directory where both myfun.m and sample.mat are in)

Can anyone please help to find what is wrong over here.

Thank you.
