I am trying to find off block diagonal entries of a matrix and I am<br>
trying to use MatFindOffBlockDiagonalEntries. However, although my<br>
matrix is not NULL, I am getting an error message as follows:<br>

<br>
And the program is still running.<br>
<br>
The part of my program is :<br>
<br>
Mat Ais;<br>
MatCreateSubMatrix(A,idUi,idUi,MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX,&Ais);<br>
ISSetPermutation(idUi);<br>
MatPermute(Ais,idUi,idUi,&PL);<br>
IS offd;<br>
MatFindOffBlockDiagonalEntries(PL,&offd);<br>
<br>
Since there isn't any examples for this function, I couldn't<br>
understand what should I do. Since it says in the error that it is<br>
about parameter 1, the matrix, I don't know how to solve the problem.<br>
My matrix PL is parallel sparse. I know there shouldn't be any problem<br>
in PL since I can view PL by using MatView.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
