This is legal, but only if you have declared a package
called Standard, with a child package called ASCII.

In pragmatic terms, your program is doubly wrong.

First, you can't with Standard itself, since all library units
are child units of Standard. A with of Standard, means you are
trying to with Standard.Standard.

Second, ASCII is a subpackage, not a child package of standard
and you cannot WITH a subpackage.
