What type is "Item_Amount"? What do you have in your context clauses.
I would suggest, if the code itself isn't very long, get rid of all
the "use" clauses related to IO packages and specify them explicitly.

It's probably worth stripping this right down to a bare minimum
including these lines and posting it on this group. It would make it
easier for everyone if they had the full details, inclufing type
definitions, context etc, and we would all be able to build and run
it.
