ATAN DEGREES IN COBOL?

I have a little problem I don't know tow to turn in deegrees my ATAN/ASIN/ACOS function in cobol This is the code:

                     ACCEPT A
                       COMPUTE C= FUNCTION ATAN(A)
                           END-COMPUTE
                          DISPLAY "Computing."
               DISPLAY "Computing.."
               DISPLAY "Computing..."
               DISPLAY "Computing...."
               DISPLAY "Computing....."
               DISPLAY "Computing......"
               DISPLAY "LA TANGENTE^-1 DI " A " RISULTA..."
                           DISPLAY C " GRADI"

Have you ideas? The (A * 180 /3.14) idea that I had doesen't work, for example, my scientific calc says that tan^-1 of 15 is 86.1, and the COBOL program says, with only A, 0000001.5042281, and with (A * 180 /3.14) says 0000001.5696333 Have you ideas?

The 1.5042281 is the result in radian. So to get them in degree just divide the result with Pi and multiply with 180, giving you 86.1
