please note even vpa(sym_dyPhi,25) yields me no answer !

----------------------
With my ancient version of matlab (4a), 'sym' variables are simply
strings. When I copy your string with its five cosine functions into a
single long string on the command line to define a symbolic variable,
matlab complains that it can't see the end of the string. When I break it
up into five separate command line strings and then concatenate them into
a single string, it works fine. The answer is:
So, at least in my case, the trouble seems to be due to the allowable
length of the command line string, not the length of string matlab's Maple
can handle. It seems possible that your trouble may also be due to some
such limitation on the command line string length, even if your Symbolic
Toolbox itself may be very different from mine.

Do you have a typo in your command or in your posting? In the first output,
your variable is named sym_dPhi, while in your command it's sym_dyPhi. If
you had a variable named sym_dyPhi that was empty, VPA would return an empty
sym. Alternately, if the line in this posting has a typo and you're
actually computing vpa(sy_dPhi, 5), what is phis at the time you call VPA?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for replying !
Sorry about my initial post. I guarantee no typos in my script.
when I call "phis", its still a sym ... meaning I have not substituted
at value. I do that in the next step using subs(sym_dyPhi,some_value).

I think you're going to need to post:
the content of the sym_dyPhi variable
the content of the phis variable
the value you're substituting into sym_dyPhi
the output of "subs(sym_dyPhi, <the value you're substituting in>)"

SOLVED THE MYSTERY !
Rather than providing more on this ... let me tell you guys, when this
happens ! IT happens when MATLAB stops the execution of my code and
goes to some wierd state. I am not able to call or use many functions
examples of which include vpa, subs, tic ... toc etc.
It gives me a wrong error ! It says my code is erroneous but I would
not agree with that cause in a different machine with different
version, the script runs fine !
