I am posting my findings here, for reference.
Re FCMP "read_array" (that allows for multiple columns, read from an entire dataset)
--- "Currently, Read_Array() only supports NUMERIC arrays."
And, FCMP [multi-dimenstional or single] arrays are exactly like DATA step arrays... all elements have to have the same type.
Here is an example of declaring a Character Array in PROC FCMP.
proc fcmp;
array y[2] $ / nosymbols;
y[1] = 'foo';
y[2] = 'bar';
put y=;
run;
Thanks.
