Hello,

I have got a problem in Developer 2000 application . here is my problem

I am using ORACLE 7.2 only
I have got three fields

length numeric in Meters
width numeric in meters
angle numeric in Degrees

user enters values for length and width and system has to calculate the angle and the formula for angle is:

angle = arc Sin(length/width).

I have idea how to calculate sin angle, but here I have to calculate arc Sin value to get Angle. In ORACLE 8.0 we have ASIN() function, but I am using only ORACLE 7.2.

If you have any idea please forward to me. thank you very much for your Assistance on net.
