COMPLEX - REAL MATRIX MULTIPLICATION

[beginner]

Dear Users, I am a beginner in the world of SCALApack and I would like to ask whether is it possible to use the routine pzgemm to perform a matrix multiplication

C = A x B

where A is a matrix with real elements and B is a matrix with complex elements. Giving as result C which has complex elements.

Can I give the matrix A as input with real elements or I should first transform it in a matrix with complex elements having imaginary part equal to zero?
