[petsc-users] from standard fortran program to PETSc

Hi Satish,

Thanks for your answer. In the attached program, I have declared the
following standard fortran arrays: real(dp),dimension(:,:),allocatable ::
D1X,D2X,D1Y,D2Y
Let's say these are real matrix derivatives that I need to insert in my
complex A matrix (it could also be some real baseflow from a similarity
solver). I have filled D1Y with 999.d0 just to test (see line 169). Then I
insert D1Y in the global (complex) matrix with call
MatSetValues(A,ny,idxm2,ny,idxn2,D1Y,INSERT_VALUES,ierr). I expected that
in the Matrix A, this would be automatically converted to 999.0 + 0.0i but
when I view A, I see 999 + 999 i or even 999 + 1.0326e-321 i. Is there a
way to insert D1Y as is and obtain the proper behavior? How would you do it?

Thanks

Anthony
