Subfunctions in matlab

Question

I have function called Assignment in Matlab with PsychToolBox. This function shows a random color to the paritcipant and require participant to name the color and record this data.

function should return me 2 output as a string

1. rgb code of the random color like: trial(1).color = [5 5 5]
2. a matrix which correspond to the sound record.

I write the main functions and color part is okay, but I cannot integrate the recording function into the main function.

in main function I use this string trial.data = recording(1,0,5) and then I wrote a subfunction named "recording"

 function recording (wavfilename, voicetrigger, maxsecs)

    bla, bla 

    end

However, the main function does not recognize the subfunction. Am I doing an logical error? the error message is below

Error: File: assignment.m Line: 40 Column: 27 Unexpected MATLAB expression.

line 40 = trial.data = recording(1,0,5)
