ZLANSB  returns the value of the one norm,  or the Frobenius norm, or
 the  infinity norm,  or the element of  largest absolute value  of an
 n by n symmetric band matrix A,  with k super-diagonals.

ZLANSB

    ZLANSB = ( 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 ZLANSB as described
          above.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
          Specifies whether the upper or lower triangular part of the
          band matrix A is supplied.
          = 'U':  Upper triangular part is supplied
          = 'L':  Lower triangular part is supplied

N

          N is INTEGER
          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.  When N = 0, ZLANSB is
          set to zero.

K

          K is INTEGER
          The number of super-diagonals or sub-diagonals of the
          band matrix A.  K >= 0.

AB

          AB is COMPLEX*16 array, dimension (LDAB,N)
          The upper or lower triangle of the symmetric band matrix A,
          stored in the first K+1 rows of AB.  The j-th column of A is
          stored in the j-th column of the array AB as follows:
          if UPLO = 'U', AB(k+1+i-j,j) = A(i,j) for max(1,j-k)<=i<=j;
          if UPLO = 'L', AB(1+i-j,j)   = A(i,j) for j<=i<=min(n,j+k).

LDAB

          LDAB is INTEGER
          The leading dimension of the array AB.  LDAB >= K+1.

WORK

          WORK is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK)),
          where LWORK >= N when NORM = 'I' or '1' or 'O'; otherwise,
          WORK is not referenced.
