function dy= test(t,y)
dy = zeros(2,1);
dy(1)=t-y(1)./t;
dy(2)=y(1)./t-y(2).*t; (error in this line)
Error using test(line 3) Not enough input arguments
Can somebody help me to find the problem please? Thanks

From your comment to Jan: "then run it"...
If you are running it as a script then it will give this error message because test is a function, requiring t and y to be passed in as arguments. Call it as a function and it should work fine:
>> test(pi,rand(2,1))
ans =
3.1230e+000
-2.9509e+000

I guess, that you have a function called "t":
which t
Please post the complete error message in the future. It contains helpful information.

I was trying to solve the following differential equations:
dy1/dt=t-y1/t
dy2/dt=y1/t-2*t
parameters in the equations are time dependent.
I save this function as test.m, then run it, returns :
Error using test(line 3)
Not enough input arguments.

What arguments are you passing to test when you invoke it?
