rng() throwing error

When I run rng() with any input - even those in the Matlab documentation ('default' for example) - I receive the following error: "Error using rng. Too many input arguments." I am using Matlab version R2021a. I was receiving the same error on R2020b. Is this a versioning error? Any way around this issue? Thank you for your help.

Not really sure: only thing that springs to mind is something shadowing the Matlab function?

what do get when you type:

which rng

This was exactly what was happening - Thank you! Don't think I would have ever figured that out.
