I specifically want to use length and fix to split a vector (of an even or odd number) into two halves and then assign each half a variable.

Something like this?:
>> A = [101,102,103,104,105];
>> X = 1:numel(A) < 4;
>> B = A(X)
B =
101 102 103
>> C = A(~X)
C =
104 105

I should have been more specific, my apologies.
Your code does work, however I want the user to enter the vector and my code to use the length and fix functions to accomplish this. You would have the right output for this one, however it would only work on this vector with 5 elements. It wouldn't work for a vector with 3 elements.

You can adjust the compared value to anything you would like to, including half the vector length. This will work for vectors of any length:
>> A = [101,102,103,104,105];
>> X = 1:numel(A) < numel(A)/2;
>> B = A(X)
B =
101 102
>> C = A(~X)
C =
103 104 105
This will automatically adjust to any length of vector A. Note that if the vector A has an odd number of elements, then C will have one more element than than B.
