Hi All,
I am trying to calculate Angle by using Degrees(ARCOS) functions in SAS, But Data step getting an errror.Please advice
26 Degrees=DEGREES(ARCOS(Theta/(Len_A+Len_B)));
_______
68
ERROR 68-185: The function DEGREES is unknown, or cannot be accessed.

I'm only finding documentation for the function under SAS 9.4 and in PROC FEDSQL. You may need to use a PROC FEDSQL statement to use this function.
The conversion from radians to degrees is fairly straightforward, you should be able to write a basic function or formula if you don't like using FEDSQL.

Define your own function, callable from data steps and SQL:
proc fcmp outlib=sasuser.fcmp.math;
function degrees(radians);
if missing(radians) then return(.);
r = mod(radians, 2*constant("PI"));
return (r*360/(2*constant("PI")));
endsub;
run;
options cmplib=sasuser.fcmp;
data _null_;
do x = -2 to 2 by 0.125;
r = x*2*constant("PI");
d = degrees(r);
put r= d=;
end;
run;
