Re: TYPE'Size in static expression

["Francisco J. Montoya" <fmontoya.removethis@dif.andthis.um.es>]

Thank you very much for your quick answer, Dmitry.

That, indeed, solved my problem, but I still do not finish in 
understanding why what I wrote did not work. The expression I wrote is 
supposed to be of "Universal Integer Type", isn't it? So adding the 
explicit type "Integer" to the constant definition should not make much 
difference.

Anyhow, I'm just a newbie and a clumsy Ada programmer, so don't pay too 
much attention to what I say ;)

Regards, and thanks again.
