  ^-----------------------------------------^

The above is the form for a procedure specification (or nearly so) not
a call to that procedure.  You should replace "in_data : out
text_io.file_type" with the name a variable of type text_io.file_type
that you wish to pass to this procedure.  Additionally, the outer
parentheses around the call to write_data should be removed.  For
example:

if you have a variable declared as
In_File : Text_Io.File_Type;

then the above two lines of code would look like

elsif (Code=migrate) then
write_data(In_Data => In_File);


If this is an assignment for a class, you should really go see your
instructor for additional help.  There are other errors lurking in your
code that will trip you up later. Good luck.
