ATAN(<expN>)
-----------------------------------
Returns (in radians) arc tangent of <expN>.
Return value - Numeric
-----------------------------------
This trigonometric function returns the arc tangent of <expN>, an angle
in radians between -pi/2 and +pi/2. The <expN> may be any value.
The numeric value returned by ATAN() is in radians; you may convert this
value to degrees with the RTOD() function. The number of decimal places
returned by ATAN() is determined by the SET DECIMALS command.

| Examples |
+---------------------------------+
? ATAN(0)
STORE PI()/2 to angle
? ATAN(angle)
? ATAN(PI()/2)
? ATAN(DTOR(90))
