p code is encrypted. The author typically uses p code because he/she doesn't want the user to be able to recover the original m code (hiding proprietary algorithms, etc).

Thanks for your concern and prompt reply...the author stating the p code will run on Matlab 2016....I have NO practical experience how to run p code...seems to me it dies not run like a .m file..? ? Can you advise asap? Thanks again... Regards Derya Kibar PhD cand

You run the p code just like you run an m file. Just put the p code file on your path somewhere and call it's name just like you would call it if it was an m file.

One of the nice things about MATLAB is that it has something we volunteers like to call "documentation". The "documentation" describes how MATLAB works, which means instead of guessing how to call p-files we can simply read the "documentation" which tells us exactly how to call p-files. And because the "documentation" is all online our favorite internet search engines can search it too!
