function Is = h()

    g()
    Is = (Ae*q*Dn*(Ni^2))/(Na*W);

return;

function [Ae q Dn W Ni Na]=g()
    Ae = input('cross-sectional area of the base-emitter
junction(in the direction perpendicular to the page? (Ae
cm^2) ');
    q = input('magnitude of the electron charge? (q
Coulomb) ');
    Dn = input('electron diffusivity in the base? (Dn
cm^2/s) ');
    W = input('effective width of the base? (W cm) ');
    Ni = input('intrinsic carrier density? (ni 1/cm^3) ');
    Na = input('doping concentration in the base? (Na
1/cm^3) ');

return;

why does this function giving me an error?

-------
You haven't brought in the six variables in your call to g(). It should be:

  [Ae, q, Dn, W, Ni, Na]=g();

The function 'h' doesn't know these variables' values unless you do.
