       where   alpha and beta  are scalars, C is an  n by n  sym­
       metric matrix and  A and B  are  n by k  matrices  in  the
       first  case  and  k by n matrices in the second case.


PARAMETERS

       UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
              On   entry,    UPLO  specifies  whether  the  upper
              or  lower triangular  part  of the  array  C  is to
              be  referenced  as follows:

              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   Only the  upper triangular part
              of  C is to be referenced.

              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   Only the  lower triangular part
              of  C is to be referenced.

              Before  entry with  TRANS = 'N' or 'n',  the  lead­
              ing  n by k part of the array  A  must contain  the

              Before entry  with  UPLO = 'U' or 'u',  the leading

              contain  the upper triangular part  of the  symmet­
              ric matrix  and the strictly lower triangular  part
              of  C is not referenced.  On exit, the upper trian­
              gular part of the array  C is  overwritten  by  the
              upper   triangular  part  of  the  updated  matrix.
              Before entry  with  UPLO = 'L' or 'l',  the leading
              n  by  n  lower triangular part of the array C must
              contain the lower triangular part  of the   symmet­
              ric  matrix  and the strictly upper triangular part
              of C is not referenced.  On exit, the lower  trian­
              gular  part  of  the array  C is overwritten by the
              lower triangular part of the updated matrix.

       LDC    - INTEGER.
              On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as
