Error message when use geosoftread() function

Hi I typed command such as "A = geosoftread('Datasets\GSE19536.soft')" It gave me error message as

Warning: Problems reading the GEO data. The structure may be incomplete. > In geosoftread at 265 Error in ==> geosoftread at 36 bioinfochecknargin(nargin,1,mfilename);

??? Output argument "outputStruct" (and maybe others) not assigned during call to "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2008a\toolbox\bioinfo\microarray\geosoftread.m (geosoftread)".

I used a R2008a Matlab and didn't know why this happen. Did someone encounter the same problem at the same version of Matlab ? Thanks

In 2008a GEOSOFTREAD was only able to read data sets GDS and sample GSM files. Is your file a GSE file? You should use instead GEOSERIESREAD.
