t=-20:20;
y = heaviside(t)
plot(t,y)
axis([-10 10 -2 2])
but the my Matlab R2015a say :

When you do a search of the documentation like this:
the green text underneath each search result tells you what toolbox or product that result applies to. The results of searching for "Heaviside" produces only results for the "Symbolic Math Toolbox", ergo heaviside is not a standard MATLAB function.
If you want a numeric version to use in MATLAB then try this anonymous function:
myHeaviside = @(V)(1+sign(V))/2;
which uses the H(0)==0.5 convention. Here it is used with your code:
>> myHeaviside = @(V)(1+sign(V))/2;
>> t = -20:20;
>> y = myHeaviside(t);
>> plot(t,y)
>> ylim([-0.1,1.1])
which produces this figure:
