[petsc-users] Another question about MatAXPY

Dear developers,
I have the following question:

Imagine that I have two matrices A and B
Both are created using MatCreateSeqAIJ 
<http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Mat/MatCreateSeqAIJ.html#MatCreateSeqAIJ>(MPI_Comm 
<http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/MPI_Comm.html#MPI_Comm> 
comm,PetscInt 
<http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscInt.html#PetscInt> 
m,PetscInt 
<http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscInt.html#PetscInt> 
n,PetscInt 
<http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscInt.html#PetscInt> 
nz,const PetscInt 
<http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscInt.html#PetscInt> 
nnz[],Mat 
<http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Mat/Mat.html#Mat> 
*A)
with the same first 5 arguments.
In addition, for both matrices I call
  MatSetOption(A,MAT_NEW_NONZERO_ALLOCATION_ERR,PETSC_TRUE);

After this I set some entries to both A and B matrices and assemble them.
Question: can I use MatAXPY with SAME_NONZERO_PATTERN argument?
Thank you,
Michael.
