    The SBAIJ interface only accepts the diagonal and upper diagonal  
entries. If you are computing the lower triangular entries (and not  
the upper) you can simply pass the columns as rows and the rows as  
columns. If you are providing both the lower and upper triangular you  
can either (1) do as Hong says and have it ignore the lower or (2)  
never set the lower.
