datasetname is variable

file1.mat and file2.mat are files storing data sets.


>> load file1.mat datasetname
>> datasetname
datasetname = DS1

>> load file2.mat datasetname
>> datasetname
datasetname = DS1


The problem was file2.mat had no variable datasetname, load command gave no
error, and old value of datasetname was used, causing error.

Load should givee error for variable name not found.
