arcsin in TI-BASIC

Hello, I am writing a program to convert polar to rectangular coordinates and vice-versa. I have not found a way to find the arcsin of y/hyp in TI-BASIC. Thanks for any help.
TI uses sin^-1 to denote arcsin (and likewise for the other trigonometric and hyperbolic functions). You can access it via [2ND][sin(] or from the catalog under "S".

Would I use it like this in a TI-BASIC program?:

Code:

:sin^-1(Y/H)→O

Yes. Closing parenthesis is optional.

Whenever I run this program I get an error saying "Variable used is not currently defined."

Code:

:Input "X ",X
:Input "Y ",Y
:X*X+Y*Y→M
:√(M)→M
:Y/M→O
:sin^-1(O→O
:round(O,2)→O
:round(M,2)→M
:Disp "RESULT:"
:Disp "M",M
:Disp "O",O

This is my first TI-BASIC program so sorry for all of the questions.
No problem, it's good to ask questions! We recommend that you don't use the Y variable inside TI-BASIC programs: there's a bug in the OS on some calculator models that resets it to Y. You can also use the [x²] key to insert a squared symbol, and turn your third line from X*X+Y*Y->M to X²+Y²->M - in fact no reason not to combine that with the next line, and do √(X²+Y²->M. Other than that, your program doesn't appear to use any undefined variables.
