Numerical integration with quadcc (resubmitted with MWE)

My problem is that I get the error "integrand F must return a single,
real-valued vector of the same size as the input" even when the integrand
DOES return such a vector. I am using quadcc because I have infinite limits
of integration and a piecewise-defined integrand. Things will execute
correctly if I just use quad, but I'm not sure whether or not the answer
will be trustworthy since the documentation recommends other integrators for
infinite bounds and nonsmooth functions. 

I call the code below with "Fsame =
IntDemonstration(256.56/sqrt(25),1,3.4,200);". Everything below is in the
same file, "IntDemonstration.m".

========================================

function Fsame = IntDemonstration(lB,edielec,d,D)
        
        Vsame = @(x) (1./edielec).*Vsame_fit(x./lB);
        F0011 = @(x) (1-(x.^2)/2).*exp(-(x.^2./2));
        
        integ_F0011same = @(x) F0011(x).*Vsame(x);
        Fsame(1,1,2,2) = quadcc(integ_F0011same,0.000001,Inf);
        
end

function y = Vsame_fit(q)
        for k=1:length(q)
                if q(k)<0.022913
                        y(k) = 0.98*tanh(200*q(k));
                elseif q(k)<0.50274
                        y(k) = 1/(0.9*q(k)+1);
                elseif q(k)<21.598
                        y(k) = 1/(1.046*q(k)+0.9266);
                else
                        y(k) = 1/(0.9512*q(k)+2.89);
                end
        end
end

========================================

I wrote the loop over the length of the argument to ensure that it would
return a vector. Furthermore, I tried inserting something simple as a test.
I put the following code in right after the definition of integ_F0011same:

integ_F0011same(linspace(1,3,10))

As expected, Octave prints out the 10-element vector that results from that
computation. Then it throws an error when trying to evaluate the next line
with quadcc.

At the end of the day, I just want to have the value of the integral which I
was hoping would be saved to Fsame(1,1,2,2). For the record, the reason I
have defined things with so many separate functions is that I reuse Vsame
three more times to evaluate similar integrals, e.g.

integ_F0110same = @(x) F0110(x).*Vsame(x);
Fsame(1,2,2,1) = quadcc(integ_F0110same,0,Inf);

where F011(x) was also defined with a function handle. Is there a better way
I should be doing this?
