If INFO(2) is negative, then its absolute value should be multiplied by 1 million. If an error –9 occurs, the user should increase the value of ICNTL(14) before calling the factorization (JOB=2) again, except if ICNTL(23) is provided, in which case ICNTL(23) should be increased."<br>

When significant extra fill-in is caused by numerical pivoting, increasing ICNTL(14) may help. Except in special cases, the default value is 20 (which corresponds to a 20 % increase)."<br>
