Yes. IML has three subroutines for handling splines:
 
SPLINE Call evaluates points on the spline
            returns a matrix containing fitted values
 
SPLINEC Call evaluates points on the spline
             returns matrices containing coefficients and endpoint slopes
 
SPLINEV Function evaluates points on a spline
                 returns a matrix with fitted values
 
 
 See the documentation on SAS/IML* Software
