Is it possible to use an FCMP function in IML?

[_sjm_]

I am having difficulty using a PROC FCMP created function based on python code in IML. Is this even possible? I haven't been successful finding any online documentation/examples about this. I don't want to keep troubleshooting if this can't be done. If it can be done, can resources please be shared? Or maybe I need to take an entirely different approach. 

Additional details ... python code needs to stay python, that is, I know I can translate it to run in SAS but I have a lot of complex already validated python code I need to run in SAS, so this isn't feasible. Python code is based on matrix syntax, which is why I believe IML must be used for processing rather than a data step. Functions are created via the FCMC procedure using Python Language Elements. The PYTHON procedure is unavailable in my SAS environment.

Any and all input is much appreciated.

No, PROC FCMP is used to define functions for the DATA step and procedures that process data row-by-row. IML is a matrix language and has its own way to create and call user-defined functions. These functions can take matrices and vectors as arguments and can return the same. See

Thanks Rick. I will abandon this approach.
