compiler 'attempt to run script as function'

I'm trying to call a few instances of Matlab code using Matlab compiler. I'm calling fom the shell, and using the process ID as an index to run different operations, so my compiled code is something like this:

function myFunction(num)
% do something
return

However, I keep getting the error, "Attempt to execute SCRIPT as a function"

According to what I've seen, this should meet the definition of a function. It it something to do with the compiler? If so, how can I get this to work? Help please!!

Try "clear" and the function name if it was a script before in the same session.

Also try:

which myFunction

This will tell you what matlab thinks myFunction should be

Re: "clear"

I tried that, same error. The error is coming from when I run the compiled code, in case that's not clear. If I call it in Matlab console, it works fine.

Re: "which"

It gives me

~path/myFunction.m

Not sure what that means

I figured it out - I had another file of the same name in another folder, it was causing the issue apparently. Thank you!
