Exciting latex file using Matlab giving errors

I have the following code
setenv('PATH', [getenv('PATH') ':/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex']);
setenv('PATH', [getenv('PATH') ':/X/Y/Documents/L.tex']);
command = 'pdflatex /X/Y/Documents/L.tex';
[status,cmdout] = system(command)
and I'm getting the following error
status =
127
cmdout =
'zsh:1: command not found: pdflatex
I got the path of /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex from typing "which pdflatex" using the terminal.
Any idea why I'm getting this error

The system function uses a shell program and spawns a new process in which the command is executed; hence, the environment seen in the new shell is brand new and environment settings from the executing shell in which MATLAB is running are not inherited/seen in the new shell.
You can set environment variables by executing chained commands or using batch file that does the needed background work before launching the executable.
