Another thought with regards to %SYSFUNC. It might be possible for you to use data step(s) where you are now using MACRO language and %SYSFUNC. Which would require some extra work but may allow you to use your FCMP functions.

Do you want some help with regards to "various string searches and manipulations"? You might get solutions that are "better" and do not require as much special processing as you might think.
