In your function y will not be set. You only try to remove one element from the input, that's wasting time. When I run this at the command-line prompt:
q = randn(1,1,12);
q(:,:,1) = [];
everything works fine.

In the function you will have to assign something to the output variable y. Otherwise matlab will not know what to put into y, should it be exp(1) that's calculated? only the first component of u?, the sum of all components of u? Otherwise your function will return an error or a warning that y is not assigned in fcn (forgotten the exact message). This you do something like this:
function y = fcn(u)
u = randn(1,1,1001);
u(:,:,1) = [];
y = u;
end
