Loading .mat files in Dynare 4.0.3

Hi everyone,
I am trying to run a .mod file inside a loop (controlled from an .m file), changing some of the parameters during each iteration. In version 3 of Dynare, I used to save parameter values in a param.mat file, and then use a "load param.mat" command inside the .mod file instead of manually specifying parameter values.
However, this method is not working in Dynare 4.0.3; I get the statement that
"STEADY: numerical initial values incompatible with the following equations" and the list of all the model equations.
Obviously the "load" command isn't working. Is there a new way to load parameter values?
Thank you!

Hi, it's not possible to use this trick with dynare v4. You should read this thread

Best, Stéphane.
