Why would you replicate the code 12 times???? Wrap it in a function and
pass the month or somesuch...

Well, again, if you want that function, write one that does it. A very
high fraction of Matlab functionality is just that: m- or p-files that
add the higher-level abstraction to the base language. Using the same
ideas for user code simplifies development in a specific application domain.
