Re: Implementation Problems w/ the Package Calendar

[ae@sei.cmu.edu (Arthur Evans)]

hart@zeus.franklin.edu (Drew Hart) asks how to output a value of type
Duration.

Duration is a fixed point type declared in package Standard (LRM C(19)).
If you look up Duration in the LRM's index, you will find references to
section 9.6 (in which package Calendar is introduced) and to Appendix C;
the latter contains its declaration.

To output values of this type, you must instantiate Text_IO.Fixed_IO.
That package's spec is in 14.3.10 and it is explained in 14.3.8.  Write

    package Duration_IO is new Text_IO.Fixed_IO(Num => Duration);

and you then have access to the subprograms described in 14.3.8

Good luck!
