There's also the issue of minimum and maximums within the
binary data types. A cobol pic S9(9) comp will generally be
represented as 32-bit integer, and the corresponding Ada type
will have digits 9. But the 32-bit integer can hold some 10-digit
values. IDK which Cobol compilers do how much to prevent these
from actually existing -- I suppose it depends on how much run-time
type checking is turned on in the programs. I assume that these
values, if they exist, should cause an error of some kind if
Interfaces.Cobol comes across them.
