CLANGE(l)								 )								 CLANGE(l)

NAME
       CLANGE  - return the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of a com-
       plex matrix A

SYNOPSIS
       REAL FUNCTION CLANGE( NORM, M, N, A, LDA, WORK )

	   CHARACTER NORM

	   INTEGER   LDA, M, N

	   REAL      WORK( * )

	   COMPLEX   A( LDA, * )

PURPOSE
       CLANGE returns the value of the one norm, or the Frobenius norm, or the infinity norm, or the element of largest absolute value of  a  com-
       plex matrix A.

DESCRIPTION
       CLANGE returns the value

	  CLANGE = ( 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  matrix norm.

ARGUMENTS
       NORM    (input) CHARACTER*1
	       Specifies the value to be returned in CLANGE as described above.

       M       (input) INTEGER
	       The number of rows of the matrix A.  M >= 0.  When M = 0, CLANGE is set to zero.

       N       (input) INTEGER
	       The number of columns of the matrix A.  N >= 0.	When N = 0, CLANGE is set to zero.

       A       (input) COMPLEX array, dimension (LDA,N)
	       The m by n matrix A.

       LDA     (input) INTEGER
	       The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(M,1).

       WORK    (workspace) REAL array, dimension (LWORK),
	       where LWORK >= M when NORM = 'I'; otherwise, WORK is not referenced.
