It is.  Matlab does not allow a script to contain function defintions;
Octave does.

But if the first non-comment token is "function", then Octave treats
the file as a function, not a script.  So put something besides
"function ..." a the beginning of the script.  For example:

  1;  ## This is a script, not a function.

  function foo (...)
    ...
  end

  Smax = ...;
  ...

  foo (Smax, ...)

which provides more detail.
