Using port map in a process

[revanthb3000]

Hi everyone !!
I'm new to VHDL (read : 1 week experience).

I was wondering if it was possible to use port map inside a process. I want it to be processed as a sequential statement and not a concurrent statement. Similar to how functions are used in C. Is this possible in VHDL ? If not, is there any other way around ?

Thanks in Advance

Well your allowed to write FUNCTION and PROCEDURE in VHDL, but only with the use of sequential statements.
