No, all caps should only be used for acronyms. Standard Ada style is to
use lower case for reserved words and initial caps for all other
identifiers.

More importantly, no competent software engineer uses global variables.
Alderson's use of global variables indicates that he is not competent to
have an opinion on the subject.

Finally, this is clearly a troll. Let us all show the superiority of
those who use Ada by never responding to trolls.
