ATN Function Details Syntax ATN(numeric-expression) The numeric-expression can be of any numeric type. ATN is evaluated by default in single precision. If numeric-expression is a double-precision value, ATN is evaluated in double precision. The result is given in radians and is in the range -PI/2 to PI/2 radians, where PI = 3.141593. PI/2 radians equals 90 degrees. You can convert an angle measurement from degrees to radians by multiplying the degrees by PI/180, where PI = 3.141593. To convert a radian value to degrees, multiply it by 57.2958.
