Dear Chou-Ching,

you will have to look up MATLAB documentation/help texts etc to find out 
what is an appropriate input for the function you want to call. 
"Evaluated input" takes any valid MATLAB variable (e.g. an array, a 
struct, a cell...). If you enter a numeric matrix here and call the 
MATLAB function "sum", it would compute the sum of the matrix in the 
same way as MATLAB would do. In order to access the output, you would 
have to define the type of output variable as e.g. "evaluated" or 
"real". Then it will become available to subsequent batch modules in 
your job.
This functionality is not intended to replace MATLAB programming. Its 
main purpose is to have quick access to basic MATLAB functions from 
within a batch job.

Hope this helps,

Volkmar
