Hi
I think an even higher Matlab version than 7.1 may be needed to support Dynare 4.2

Emne: Re: [DynareDev] calling Matlab functions with no arguments

The person is running 6.5
For the time being, I advise her to switch to Octave.
Now that we support Octave very well, I wouldn't object if we say that Dynare needs at least version 7.0 of Matlab

	I tried with MATLAB 7.0 and () is accepted.

	I read the release notes of MATLAB 7.0, 6.5.1 and 6.5, and nothing is
	mentionned about this.

	Either MATLAB did not document this change in its release notes, or this
	person is using a version older than 6.5 (in the latter case, she must
	be getting a warning when Dynare is run). It could be useful if you
	asked which version of MATLAB this person is running.

	Best,
