Indexing cannot yield multiple results matlab

i have my function like this;

when i run the the program it gives; Indexing cannot yield multiple results.Error in [Edump,Eb,Ech] = charge(Phkt,Pw,Pp,Ebmax,uinv,Pl,t,PchE,dump,Eb,Ech)

if true
  % code
end
function [Edump,Eb,Ech] = charge(Phkt,Pw,Pp,Ebmax,uinv,Pl,t,PchE,dump,Eb,Ech)
global Phkt Pw Pp Eb Ebmax uinv Pl t Ech 

 %              CHARGE
        Pch(t)=( Pp(t)+Pw(t)+Phkt(t))-(Pl(t)/uinv);
        Ech(t)=Pch(t);%*1;%one hour iteration time
        if Ech(t)<=Ebmax-Eb(t)
            Eb(t)=Eb(t-1)+Ech(t);

            if Eb(t)>Ebmax
                    Eb(t)=Ebmax;
                    Edump(t)=Ech(t)-(Ebmax-Eb(t));
            else
                    Edump(t)=0;
            end
            return
        else
            Eb(t)=Ebmax;
            Edump(t)=Ech(t)-(Ebmax-Eb(t));
            return

        end
end
       [Edump,Eb,Ech] = charge(Pp,Pw,Phkt,Eb,Ebmax,uinv,Pl,t,Edump,Ech);

What arguments (and their sizes and classes) are you passing to your ‘charge’ function?

I don't get you.... Can you please explain what you are trying to say? I'm not that vast in the use of MATLAB

[Adam]

Why on earth are you declaring a bunch of global variables of the same names as many that you are passing into your function? At best this will do nothing, at worst it will have all kinds of unwanted effects that could cause a load of obscure bugs.

The error you are getting though suggests that when you call

[Edump,Eb,Ech] = charge(Phkt,Pw,Pp,Ebmax,uinv,Pl,t,PchE,dump,Eb,Ech)

Matlab thinks 'charge' is a variable that it is indexing into rather than a function that it is calling. So first thing to check is where you call it do you have a variable called 'charge' also? If so then this is the problem (or at least the problem causing the error you give).
