Create code compatibility analysis results for code in your current folder and subfolders.

r = analyzeCodeCompatibility
r = 

  CodeCompatibilityAnalysis with properties:

      MATLABVersion: "R2017b"
              Files: [92×1 string]
    ChecksPerformed: [299×6 table]
    Recommendations: [28×7 table]

Analyze the code again and omit subfolders from the analysis.

r = analyzeCodeCompatibility('IncludeSubfolders',false)
r =
