1  Purpose

F06JDF (ZDSCAL) scales a complex vector by a real scalar.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE F06JDF ( N, ALPHA, X, INCX)
INTEGER  N, INCX
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  ALPHA
COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp)  X(*)
The routine may be called by its BLAS name zdscal.

3  Description

F06JDF (ZDSCAL) performs the operation
xαx  
where x is an n-element complex vector scattered with stride INCX, and α is a real scalar.

5  Parameters

1:     N – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the number of elements in x.
2:     ALPHA – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the scalar α.
3:     X* – COMPLEX (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput/Output
Note: the dimension of the array X must be at least max1, 1+N-1 ×INCX .
On entry: the n-element vector x. xi must be stored in X1+i-1×INCX, for i=1,2,,N.
Intermediate elements of X are not referenced.
On exit: the vector αx stored in the array elements used to supply the original vector x.
Intermediate elements of X are unchanged.
4:     INCX – INTEGERInput
On entry: the increment in the subscripts of X between successive elements of x.
Constraint: INCX>0.

6  Error Indicators and Warnings
