The first routine allows to build the ''zero character``:
NAME: b_d_sc, m_d_sc
SYNOPSIS:
INT b_d_sc(OP dim,sc), INT
m_d_sc(OP dim,sc)
DESCRIPTION: you only enter an INTEGERobject dim, and the
output is a SYMCHARobject sc, which is the zero character of the
symmetric group of degree dim. Here ''zero character`` means that
the value of the character is zero on all classes. In the routine
b_d_sc the objects dim and sc must be different since dim becomes
part of the object sc. In the routine m_d_sc, dim and sc may be the
same object, because here we enter a copy of dim into the resulting
object sc.
RETURN: OK if no error occured
Example:
...
scan(INTEGER,a);
m_d_sc(a,b);
