help with examples in user guide

Hi, while studying the user guide, and trying some of the examples appearing in there, I've found that the complete .mod file of the section 5.8 (Estimating DSGE Models- Basics) doesn't work in my Matlab, even being exactly the same code.... and trying with different files (in order to present the observed variable) though the one that it employs in the example is simuldataRBC.
I attach the file, just in case someone could guide in why the following error messages show up....
Thanks!

Warning: Some of the parameters have no value (beta, psi, delta,
alpha, rho, epsilon) when using steady. If these parameters are not
initialized in a steadystate file, Dynare may not be able to solve
the model...

Thanks for your message.

Actually the MOD file in the User Guide is wrong: you should remove the "steady" and "check" lines.

We will include the fix in future releases of the guide.

Best,
