In the package Ada.Float_Text_IO is

procedure Put(To : out String;
     Item : in Float;
     Aft : in Field := ...;
     Exp : in Field := ...);

where Field is a subtype of Integer.  This writes to a String, letting you
specify the number of places after the decimal point and the size of the
exponent field, which can be zero.  That should do it for you.
