Is the command piecewise polynomial integration (ppint) not working anymore? Below is an example given by an old member of the community https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/13812-splinefit?focused=7896654&tab=function:
x = linspace(-pi,pi,7);
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y)
hold on
pp = interp1(x,y,x,'spline');
plot(x,pp+0.1)
I = ppint(pp,1)
'Undefined function or variable' error comes up. If it is not available anymore, what is the alternative for such a case?

Just use fnint.
x = linspace(0,2*pi,20);
y = sin(x);
pp = spline(x,y);
ppcos = fnint(pp);
fnplt(ppcos)
As you can see, we get effectively -cos(x). Of course, the constant of integration is missing.

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, our matlab license doesn't include that functionality. We need to change that. Could you please, anyways, also tell me the double integration function? I actually need to fit ESR/EPR data and then double integrate to quantify the electron spins.

I think fnint comes with the curvefitting toolbox. The curve fitting toolbox is well worth obtaining.
If you had fnint, then the double integral would be just
fnint(pp,2)
I could write a ppint code, but it looks like Walter has already offered a source.
