Hi there,
Is it possible to have a main ada procedure (program) with parameters?
For example, my main program is called: Read_Text and I would like
to call that main program (from the command line) with the name of
the file I want to read.
I thought I would be able to have my main procedure has follows:
procedure READ_TEXT (File_Name : in STRING := "") is
begin
.
.
.
end READ_TEXT;
This compiles nicely, but when I go to link it I get the following
error message:
%ACS-E-CL_MAIUNISIG, Main unit READ_TEXT has parameters or a result type that
are not supported for a main program
Does any body know how I can make this so I can just type from the
command line:
$ READ_TEXT My_Text_File.TXT
and it will understand I want to read the file called "My_Text_File.TXT"
In case it helps I'm using the VAX ADA Compiler.
Thanks in advance!
Norm
