the neoclassical growth model--an error

[leelane]

when I ran the code ,there is something wrong like this:
Error using eval
Undefined function or variable 'c'.

Error in read_variables (line 52)
dyn_tmp_01 = eval(var_names_01(dyn_i_01,:));

Error in dynare_estimation_init (line 290)
rawdata = read_variables(options_.datafile,options_.varobs,[],options_.xls_sheet,options_.xls_range);

Error in dynare_estimation_1 (line 37)
[data,rawdata,xparam1] = dynare_estimation_init(var_list_);

Error in dynare_estimation (line 62)
dynare_estimation_1(var_list,varargin{:});

Error in GrowthEstimate (line 137)
dynare_estimation(var_list_);

Error in dynare (line 120)
evalin('base',fname) ;


and I don't know Undefined function or variable 'c'. So if anybody knows how it happened, please let me know. THanks a lot!

Where is the data-file and does it contain a variable named c?
