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;
