s = tf('s');
sys=input('enter the funtion' );
[y,t]=step(sys);
y(length(y))
plot(t,y);
xlabel('Time (sec)');
ylabel('Amplitude');
title('step responce');

Your question is not formulated clearly. Did you mean steady-state value, not "steady-error value"? Assuming that's what you meant, the next clarification is steady-state value of a transfer function in response to what - is it in response to a step input?
If that's what you meant, then yes, you can do this like that:
>> s=tf('s');
>> sys=5/(s^2+2*s+25);
>> [y,t]=step(sys);
>> y(length(y))
ans =
0.20
You can also right click on a step plot, "Charecteristics", "Steady-state", as shown below:

My answer above us using Control System Toolbox.
To get a step plot in MATLAB do this:
s=tf('s');
sys=5/(s^2+2*s+25);
step(sys);

SP=5; %input value, if you put 1 then is the same as step(sys)
[y,t]=step(SP*sys); %get the response of the system to a step with amplitude SP
sserror=abs(SP-y(end)) %get the steady state error

What would I set SP to if I wanted to represent a ramp input and parabolic input? Thanks.

matlab command to find steadt state error from step response graph in matlab
>> sserror=(SP-(y1.data(end,end)))
where SP value is one when input is step input. y1 shows workspace value of step response. normally it comes during simulation from simulink.

Hi ,
Is there anything simular using 'lsim' command for a ramp input?
Regards,
Josh
