                        LDB )

           CHARACTER*1  SIDE, UPLO, TRANSA, DIAG

           INTEGER      M, N, LDA, LDB

PURPOSE
       CTRSM  solves one of the matrix equations
          op( A )*X = alpha*B
       or
          X*op( A ) = alpha*B
       where  alpha  is a scalar, X and B are m by n matrices, A is a unit, or
       non-unit,  upper or lower triangular matrix  and  op( A )  is one  of

          op( A ) = A   or   op( A ) = A'   or   op( A ) = conjg( A' ).

       The matrix B is overwritten with X.


PARAMETERS
       SIDE   - CHARACTER*1.
              On entry, SIDE specifies whether op( A ) appears on the left  or
              right of X as follows:

              SIDE = 'L' or 'l'   op( A )*X = alpha*B.

              SIDE = 'R' or 'r'   X*op( A ) = alpha*B.

              Unchanged on exit.

       UPLO   - CHARACTER*1.
              On  entry,  UPLO  specifies  whether the matrix A is an upper or
              lower triangular matrix as follows:

              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   A is an upper triangular matrix.

              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   A is a lower triangular matrix.

              Unchanged on exit.

              TRANSA - CHARACTER*1.  On entry, TRANSA specifies  the  form  of
              op( A ) to be used in the matrix multiplication as follows:

              TRANSA = 'N' or 'n'   op( A ) = A.

              TRANSA = 'T' or 't'   op( A ) = A'.

              TRANSA = 'C' or 'c'   op( A ) = conjg( A' ).

              Unchanged on exit.

       DIAG   - CHARACTER*1.
              On  entry, DIAG specifies whether or not A is unit triangular as
              follows:

              DIAG = 'U' or 'u'   A is assumed to be unit triangular.

              DIAG = 'N' or 'n'   A is not assumed to be unit triangular.

              Unchanged on exit.

       M      - INTEGER.
              On entry, M specifies the number of rows of  B.  M  must  be  at
              least zero.  Unchanged on exit.

       N      - INTEGER.
              On  entry, N specifies the number of columns of B.  N must be at
              least zero.  Unchanged on exit.

       ALPHA  - COMPLEX         .
              On entry,  ALPHA specifies the scalar   alpha.  When   alpha  is
              zero  then   A  is  not referenced and  B need not be set before
              entry.  Unchanged on exit.

       A      - COMPLEX          array of DIMENSION ( LDA, k ), where k is m
              when  SIDE = 'L' or 'l'  and is  n  when  SIDE  =  'R'  or  'r'.
              Before  entry   with   UPLO  = 'U' or 'u',  the  leading  k by k
              upper triangular part of the array  A  must  contain  the  upper
              triangular  matrix   and the strictly lower triangular part of A
              is not referenced.  Before entry  with  UPLO = 'L' or 'l',   the
              leading   k by k lower triangular part of the array  A must con-
              tain the lower triangular matrix  and the strictly upper  trian-
              gular  part  of A is not referenced.  Note that when  DIAG = 'U'
              or 'u',  the diagonal elements of A  are not referenced  either,
              but are assumed to be  unity.  Unchanged on exit.

       LDA    - 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 ),  when  SIDE = 'R' or 'r' then LDA
              must be at least max( 1, n ).  Unchanged on exit.

       B      - COMPLEX          array of DIMENSION ( LDB, n ).
              Before entry,  the leading  m by n part of  the  array   B  must
              contain   the   right-hand   side   matrix  B,  and  on exit  is
              overwritten by the solution matrix  X.

       LDB    - 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 ).  Unchanged on exit.
