No.  Not all DATA step functions are implemented *directly*
in SAS/IML.

But you *can* implement it yourself by looking at the previous row
in your vector.

I would recommend against it, myself.  Not everything needs to
be done in IML.  Consider doing some pre-IML work in data steps
or PROC SQL to prepare your data first.
