I have attached the function file causing problems and input txt file.
Load and dlmread both work to read a file.

OK all is clear now!

you have written a function file not a script file.

In a function all variables that are defined in the function are local vars.

So A has a scope of just that function, so it will not show up in the 

workspace vars after the function has completed.

remove the   function loparfi

to make it a script file, or make A global
