*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  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.
*
*  Parameters
*  ==========
*
*  SIDE   - 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,
*
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  UPLO   - 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.
*
*           Unchanged on exit.

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

*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  A      - REAL             array of 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.
*           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 ), otherwise  LDA must be at
*           least  max( 1, n ).
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  B      - REAL             array of DIMENSION ( LDB, n ).
*           Before entry, the leading  m by n part of the array  B  must
*           contain the matrix B.
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  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.
*
*  BETA   - REAL            .
*           On entry,  BETA  specifies the scalar  beta.  When  BETA  is
*           supplied as zero then C need not be set on input.
*           Unchanged on exit.
*
*  C      - REAL             array of 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    - INTEGER.
*           On entry, LDC specifies the first dimension of C as declared
*           in  the  calling  (sub)  program.   LDC  must  be  at  least
