No, i'm not doing that, what i'm actually trying to do is set up a chain
with seperate overflow, my function that calls the error looks like this....

procedure addlink(inrec : in a_hote) is
  min_val : integer;
begin
  dir_io.open(notes, dir_io.inout_file, "notes.dat");
   min_val := inrec.next;
    while min_val /= 0 loop
      dir_io.read(notes, new_rec, dir_io.positive_count(min_val));
      min_val := new_rec.next;
    end loop;
  dir_io.write(notes, new_rec, dir_io.positive_count(min_val));
 end;
