# MatRestoreColumnIJ
Call after you are completed with the ia,ja indices obtained with `MatGetColumnIJ()`.
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h"
PetscErrorCode MatRestoreColumnIJ(Mat mat, PetscInt shift, PetscBool symmetric, PetscBool inodecompressed, PetscInt *n, const PetscInt *ia[], const PetscInt *ja[], PetscBool *done)
```
Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***mat -*** the matrix
- ***shift -*** 1 or zero indicating we want the indices starting at 0 or 1
- ***symmetric -*** `PETSC_TRUE` or `PETSC_FALSE` indicating the matrix data structure should be symmetrized
- ***inodecompressed -*** `PETSC_TRUE` or `PETSC_FALSE` indicating if the nonzero structure of the
inodes or the nonzero elements is wanted. For `MATBAIJ` matrices the compressed version is
always used.
## Output Parameters
- ***n -*** size of (possibly compressed) matrix
- ***ia -*** the column pointers
- ***ja -*** the row indices
- ***done -*** `PETSC_TRUE` or `PETSC_FALSE` indicated that the values have been returned
