MATLAB error assigning values

I have a matlab gui made using MATLAB R2013a which computes a value u2 and also it performs the following computations:
n2=u2+1;
J1=HA(1);J2=HA(2);where HA is a vector with two values,
F=zeros(1,n2); T=zeros(1,n2);
Then after under going some computations in a loop I assign the value J1 to the first position of vector F by the command
F(1)=J1; and also some other values to other positions. But then it gives the following error:
_ _ _ *In an assignment A(I) = B, the number of elements in B and I must be the same.
Error in Communication_using_ECC_Receiver>pushbutton4_Callback (line 566) F(1)=J1;F(2)=J12G;F(n2)=0;
Error in gui_mainfcn (line 96) feval(varargin{:});
Error in Communication_using_ECC_Receiver (line 44) gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
Error in @(hObject,eventdata)Communication_using_ECC_Receiver('pushbutton4_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))
Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback*___
I can not understand the error. I thought we can replace the values in any vector by some other value by using commands like F(1)=J1;. Can some one please explain me what's the error here and also please tell me a way to overcome the error and obtain the result as required by assigning values replacing the old value in the vector.
Please help me with this problem.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Since F(1) refers to one element in F, the data you assign into F(1) must have exactly one element as well. Something like the following won't work, since you can't fit 2 elements (on the right side) into 1 element (on the left.)
F(1) = [1 2]
So set a breakpoint on the line where you try to assign J1 into F(1) and see how many elements J1 has when MATLAB reaches that breakpoint.
