### MB_DSCAL – Scales a vector by a constant

Block SymbolLicensing group: STANDARD

Function Description
The output references yX is always set to the corresponding input reference uX. If HLD = on then nothing is computed otherwise the BLAS function DSCAL is called internally:

DSCAL(N, a, uX, INCX);

where parameters of DSCAL are set in the following way:

• If the input $\mathtt{\text{n}}>0$ then N is set to n else N is set to the current number of the vector or matrix elements CNT referenced by uX.
• If the input $\mathtt{\text{incx}}\ne 0$ then INCX is set to incx else INCX is set to $1$.

The error flag E is set to on if:

• the reference uX is not defined (i.e. input uX is not connected),
• $\mathtt{\text{n}}<0$ or $\mathtt{\text{incx}}<0$,
• $\left(\mathtt{\text{N}}-1\right)\ast \mathtt{\text{INCX}}+1>\mathtt{\text{CNT}}$.

See BLAS documentation [6] for more details.
