ASN is also found, with this name, in historical implementations of BASIC for IBM System/360 and System/370, according to the documentation of Bywater BASIC 3.20.

The BASIC Cookbook points out that BASICs which don't implement the function can achieve the same results, for a given X argument, with the following formula:

ATN(X/SQR(X*X+1))
