Why do I receive a Java error when I debug my function in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)?

I receive the following Java exception when I am debugging my program:

 java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: ""

 at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source)

 at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)

 at java.lang.Integer.<init>(Unknown Source)

 at com.mathworks.mlservices.MatlabDebugServices.createStackInfo(MatlabDebugServices.java:747)

 at com.mathworks.mlservices.MatlabDebugServices$StackDispatch.completed(MatlabDebugServices.java:1669)

 at com.mathworks.jmi.Matlab$CompletionHandler.messageReceived(Matlab.java:2095)

 at com.mathworks.services.message.MWLooper.dispatchMessage(MWLooper.java:422)

 at com.mathworks.services.message.MWLooper.runBridge(MWLooper.java:567)

 at com.mathworks.services.message.MWLooper.run(MWLooper.java:536)

 at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

I have noticed that this occurs when the file I am debugging is in the directory:

C:\mydirectory\HW after solution\

I receive the same error, irrespective of the program I am debugging, as long as the file is in the above-mentioned directory.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

There is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) in the way that the debugger handles files in directories whose names contain certain strings.

To work around this issue, move your files to a directory whose path does not contain the following strings or characters:

 “ at “

 “ In “ 

 “> In “

 “ after “
