Maybe you need :exports and not :export.

Thanks, but I tried
#+begin_src matlab :tangle test.m  :export code   :wrap latex :padline no
function [ll x]=mitest(A0,x0)
% initialization
format long
epsi=1.e-3;
nit=0;
nmaxit=200;
Delta=10;
A=A0;
while Delta>epsi & nit<nmaxit
    nit=nit+1; % counter
#+end_src

The basic idea is.
That we do.
We also will

#+begin_src matlab  :tangle test.m :export both  :wrap latex :padline no
    y=A*x0;
end
#+end_src


And I obtain always:
