I am working on Coordinate system based on GPS and have got latlong points to 7digit place ..when i convert them to radian, they expand upto 9 place. My code requires only use upto 5 digits for the calculations. I tried using "round" commands but it says too many input arguments. Can anyone help me with this please.

It is easy to create your own version in an anonymous function:
roundn = @(x,n) round(x.*10.^n)./10.^n;
pi_5 = roundn(pi,5)
produces:
pi_5 =
3.14159
If you know you always want to round the radian angle to 5 decimal places, change the function to:
round5 = @(x) round(x.*10.^5)./10.^5;

you can do like this
>> a=1.12345678
a =
1.123456780000000
>> sprintf('%0.5f', a)
ans =
1.12346
