Could you help me debug this please?

[Aaron]

I keep getting the error mesage  "Statemnt Expected" in line 73
whenever I try compiling this program. If anyone could help me, I'd be
greatful.

with Text_Io;
procedure Assessment2 is

   --types and packages
   type Choice is
      (Migrate, Previous, Stop);
   package Choice_Io is new
      Text_Io.Enumeration_Io
      (Enum => Choice);

   --variables   
   Code: Choice;
in_data : text_io.file_type;
filename, degree, migrantname, YOB, money: string (1..20);
last: natural;

   --functions
   procedure Get_The_Action;
--gets the input from the keyboard for the main menu
procedure write_data
(in_data : in out text_io.file_type);
-- procedure to get the names of people and store them.

   procedure Get_The_Action is
   begin
   Text_Io.Put("Migration Program:");
   Text_Io.New_Line;
   Text_Io.Put("Enter 'Migrate' to store migrants details on file.");
   Text_Io.New_Line;
   Text_Io.Put("Enter 'Previous' to read and display information about
migrants.");
   Text_Io.New_Line;
   Text_Io.Put("Enter 'Finish' to quit.");
   Text_Io.New_Line;
   Choice_Io.Get(Code);
end Get_The_Action;

procedure write_data
(in_data : in out text_io.file_type) is
begin
   text_io.put("Migrants Name:");
text_io.get_line(migrantname, last);
text_io.put(file=>In_data,
   item=> migrantname);
text_io.new_line(file =>in_data);
   text_io.put("Degree in computing (Y/N):");
text_io.get_line(degree, last);
   text_io.put(file=>In_data,
   item=> degree);
   text_io.new_line(file =>in_data);
   text_io.put("Year of Birth:");
   text_io.get_line(YOB, last);
   text_io.put(file=>In_data,

Hi,


>elsif (Code=migrate) then
>(write_data(in_data : out text_io.file_type));
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

probably the compiler gets confused with a declaration of a parameter in
the call?? Try deleting the declaration part and substituting it by an 
actual call.

Best regards,

Fernando Tricas

:elsif (Code=migrate) then
:(write_data(in_data : out text_io.file_type));

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

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.
