??? Undefined function or method 'SSTA' for input arguments of type 'char'

I run a script file with command 'load SSTA.mat'. The file 'SSTA.mat' is in the same folder as the script, so there should be no path issues. Why do I get the error '??? Undefined function or method 'SSTA' for input arguments of type 'char'' and how do I fix it?

Try the function call

storedVariables = load('SSTA.mat')

It does not solve the issue.

Show your code, and the COMPLETE error message - all the red text, not just part of it.

Try this more robust code:

% Change the current folder to the folder of this m-file.
% (The line of code below is from Brett Shoelson of The Mathworks.)
cd(fileparts(which(mfilename)));

% Read in a standard MATLAB mat file.
% First get the full file name.
folder = pwd
baseFileName = 'SSTA.mat';
% Get the full filename, with path prepended.
fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);
% Check if file exists.
if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
  % File doesn't exist -- didn't find it there.  Check the search path for it.
  fullFileName = baseFileName; % No path this time.
  if ~exist(fullFileName, 'file')
    % Still didn't find it.  Alert user.
    errorMessage = sprintf('Error: %s does not exist in the search path folders.', fullFileName);
    uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
    return;
  end
end
storedVariables = load(fullFileName)
