C***DESCRIPTION
C
C                B L A S  Subprogram
C    Description of Parameters
C
C     --Input--
C        N  number of elements in input vector(s)
C       DX  double precision vector with N elements
C     INCX  storage spacing between elements of DX
C
C     --Output--
C   IDAMAX  smallest index (zero if N .LE. 0)
C
C     Find smallest index of maximum magnitude of double precision DX.
C     IDAMAX = first I, I = 1 to N, to maximize ABS(DX(IX+(I-1)*INCX)),
C     where IX = 1 if INCX .GE. 0, else IX = 1+(1-N)*INCX.
