line numbers and error reports

[AlexM]

Hello,
  I am getting these error reports from my script. I am new to octave. 

octave:16> LoadDNAoctave('dispropTenK.datSERAD.dat')
DNA_file = dispropTenK.datSERAD.dat
error: `dispropTenK' undefined near line 15 column 9
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 15, column 8
error: called from `LoadDNAoctave' in file
`/home/alexm/Work/octave/LoadDNAoctave.m'
octave:16> 


1)What does octave mean by "undefined near line 15 column 9" is it at line
15 or about it?

2)Writing the script in emacs, and the function header is line 1, the next
twenty lines are comments, so it does not appear that octave is reporting
line numbers as I would view them in the editor. Is it suppressing the
comments and empty lines in counting the line numbers?

Thanks,
Alex M.
