in my program using the sequential_io package i am recieving the error
"Actual for "File" must be a variable" for this line
71. seq_io.close(old_file);
i have instantiated sequential_io to be seq_io and declared
32. old_file : seq_io.file_type;
at the same time i am not recieving the error for every command for example
i have one line that reads
74. seq_io.close(new_file);
and
89. seq_io.read(old_file, current);
so i'm assuming that the variable old_file does exist, and is fine, but that
i have done something else wrong,
any help with this program would be appreciated, thanks, Ryan

You need to show the whole program, and preferably cut down!

Is it possible that the name Old_File at line 71 does not refer to the
variable Old_File declared at line 32? Possibly at line 71 you are
referring to a subprogram parameter of mode in, which would hide the
declaration at line 32. A mode in parameter is a constant and cannot be
passed to Close (in out), but can be passed to Read (in).
