How to use eval in parfor

Hello, all:
I got a problem in using Parfor. Matlab says eval can not be used for parfor. Would you please help me see how I can change this format so that it can works?
Additionally, would you please tell me if a structure also can not be used in parfor? The following commands works fine if I use for but when I used parfor, I got errors. Thank you very much
for i=1:5
parfor ii=1:10
eval(['A.B',num2str(i),'.C(ii,1) = ii;'])
end
end

I'd probably create a sliced output variable C inside the parfor loop and assign that variable to a field of your struct outside the parfor statement as shown in "Slicing structure fields" on this documentation page. Dynamic field names may be of use to you in this outer assignment step.

N = 10;
A(5).C = [];
for m = 1:5
V = NaN(1,N);
parfor n = 1:N
V(n) = m^n;
end
A(m).C = V;
end
This allows you to access the data very simply, e.g.:
>> vertcat(A.C)
ans =
Columns 1 through 7
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2 4 8 16 32 64 128
3 9 27 81 243 729 2187
4 16 64 256 1024 4096 16384
5 25 125 625 3125 15625 78125
Columns 8 through 10
1 1 1
256 512 1024
6561 19683 59049
65536 262144 1048576
390625 1953125 9765625
and will be much easier to work with than nested structures.
