SSYMM  performs one of the matrix-matrix operations
    C := alpha*A*B + beta*C,
 or
    C := alpha*B*A + beta*C,
 where alpha and beta are scalars,  A is a symmetric matrix and  B and
 C are  m by n matrices.

SIDE

          SIDE is CHARACTER*1
           On entry,  SIDE  specifies whether  the  symmetric matrix  A
           appears on the  left or right  in the  operation as follows:
              SIDE = 'L' or 'l'   C := alpha*A*B + beta*C,
              SIDE = 'R' or 'r'   C := alpha*B*A + beta*C,

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
           On  entry,   UPLO  specifies  whether  the  upper  or  lower
           triangular  part  of  the  symmetric  matrix   A  is  to  be
           referenced as follows:
              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   Only the upper triangular part of the
                                  symmetric matrix is to be referenced.
              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   Only the lower triangular part of the
                                  symmetric matrix is to be referenced.

M

          M is INTEGER
           On entry,  M  specifies the number of rows of the matrix  C.
           M  must be at least zero.

N

          N is INTEGER
           On entry, N specifies the number of columns of the matrix C.
           N  must be at least zero.

ALPHA

          ALPHA is REAL
           On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.

A

          A is REAL array, dimension ( LDA, ka ), where ka is
           m  when  SIDE = 'L' or 'l'  and is  n otherwise.
           Before entry  with  SIDE = 'L' or 'l',  the  m by m  part of
           the array  A  must contain the  symmetric matrix,  such that
           when  UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading m by m upper triangular
           part of the array  A  must contain the upper triangular part
           of the  symmetric matrix and the  strictly  lower triangular
           part of  A  is not referenced,  and when  UPLO = 'L' or 'l',
           the leading  m by m  lower triangular part  of the  array  A
           must  contain  the  lower triangular part  of the  symmetric
           matrix and the  strictly upper triangular part of  A  is not
           referenced.
           Before entry  with  SIDE = 'R' or 'r',  the  n by n  part of
           the array  A  must contain the  symmetric matrix,  such that
           when  UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading n by n upper triangular
           part of the array  A  must contain the upper triangular part
           of the  symmetric matrix and the  strictly  lower triangular
           part of  A  is not referenced,  and when  UPLO = 'L' or 'l',
           the leading  n by n  lower triangular part  of the  array  A
           must  contain  the  lower triangular part  of the  symmetric
           matrix and the  strictly upper triangular part of  A  is not
           referenced.

LDA

          LDA is INTEGER
           On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared
           in the calling (sub) program.  When  SIDE = 'L' or 'l'  then
           LDA must be at least  max( 1, m ), otherwise  LDA must be at
           least  max( 1, n ).

B

          B is REAL array, dimension ( LDB, N )
           Before entry, the leading  m by n part of the array  B  must
           contain the matrix B.

LDB

          LDB is INTEGER
           On entry, LDB specifies the first dimension of B as declared
           in  the  calling  (sub)  program.   LDB  must  be  at  least
           max( 1, m ).

BETA

          BETA is REAL
           On entry,  BETA  specifies the scalar  beta.  When  BETA  is
           supplied as zero then C need not be set on input.

C

          C is REAL array, dimension ( LDC, N )
           Before entry, the leading  m by n  part of the array  C must
           contain the matrix  C,  except when  beta  is zero, in which
           case C need not be set on entry.
           On exit, the array  C  is overwritten by the  m by n updated
           matrix.

LDC

          LDC is INTEGER
           On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as declared
           in  the  calling  (sub)  program.   LDC  must  be  at  least
           max( 1, m ).
