Hi @Coa_SAs,

 

I think there is no DEGREES function available in the data step (as opposed to FedSQL), but who would really need a function that multiplies its argument by a constant?

 

The ACOS function is named ARCOS in the data step.

 

So, in a data step the calculation could be done as follows:

data _null_;
c=sqrt(.5); /* example */
a=180*arcos(c)/constant('pi');
put a;
run; /* result: 45 */

You say SAS data step but then FEDSQL, which one are you looking to do? 

 

I'm assuming the function, as is, is not working in someway?
