I have the following .mod file and when it runs in matlab i get the following message:

Configuring Dynare ...
[mex] Generalized QZ.
[mex] Sylvester equation solution.
[mex] Kronecker products.
[mex] Sparse kronecker products.
[mex] Bytecode evaluation.
[mex] k-order perturbation solver.
[mex] k-order solution simulation.

Starting Dynare (version 4.2.5).

ans =

2

what does this mean????

It means you violated Matlab's naming convention. Function and variable names must start with a letter. 2 is not a valid name. Dynare outputs what you put in: 2
