SLANSP  returns the value of the one norm,  or the Frobenius norm, or


 the  infinity norm,  or the  element of  largest absolute value  of a


 real symmetric matrix A,  supplied in packed form.

SLANSP

    SLANSP = ( max(abs(A(i,j))), NORM = 'M' or 'm'


             (


             ( norm1(A),         NORM = '1', 'O' or 'o'


             (


             ( normI(A),         NORM = 'I' or 'i'


             (


             ( normF(A),         NORM = 'F', 'f', 'E' or 'e'


 where  norm1  denotes the  one norm of a matrix (maximum column sum),


 normI  denotes the  infinity norm  of a matrix  (maximum row sum) and


 normF  denotes the  Frobenius norm of a matrix (square root of sum of


 squares).  Note that  max(abs(A(i,j)))  is not a consistent matrix norm.

NORM

          NORM is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies the value to be returned in SLANSP as described


          above.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


          Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the


          symmetric matrix A is supplied.


          = 'U':  Upper triangular part of A is supplied


          = 'L':  Lower triangular part of A is supplied

N

          N is INTEGER


          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.  When N = 0, SLANSP is


          set to zero.

AP

          AP is REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)


          The upper or lower triangle of the symmetric matrix A, packed


          columnwise in a linear array.  The j-th column of A is stored


          in the array AP as follows:


          if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = A(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;


          if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = A(i,j) for j<=i<=n.

WORK

          WORK is REAL array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK)),


          where LWORK >= N when NORM = 'I' or '1' or 'O'; otherwise,


          WORK is not referenced.
