Why am I unable to compile using the MATLAB COMPILER when my code has WK1READ or WK1WRITE in it?

Why am I unable to compile using the MATLAB COMPILER when my code has WK1READ or WK1WRITE in it?

When I use

mcc -m -W filname.m

or

mcc -B sgl filename.m

I get the following error message.

 wk1write.obj : error LNK2019: 

 unresolved external symbol _mlfNWk1const referenced in function _Mwk1write 

 wk1read.obj : error LNK2019: 

 unresolved external symbol _mlfNWk1const referenced in function _Mwk1read

This bug has been fixed in Release 2006a (R2006a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

WK1READ and WK1WRITE call a script file WK1CONST and therefore cannot be compiled with the MATLAB Compiler. As a workaround, use CSVREAD and CSVWRITE. These functions read and write data in a text format that uses comma as a delimiter. The files created by CSVWRITE can be opened in a Lotus spreadsheet.
