You probably have a type mismatch.  Set_Col and Set_Line both expect
parameters of subtype Text_IO.Positive_Count.  When you use
numeric literals, you don't need to worry about the particular integer
type.  But when you use a variable, you need to declare it to be
of the right (sub)type, or convert it on use.  For example, the following
should work:

   C : Text_IO.Positive_Count;
 ...
   C := 22;
   Text_IO.Set_Col(C);

Alternatively, you can write:

   X : Integer;
 ...
   X := 22;
   Text_IO.Set_Col(Text_IO.Positive_Count(X));

The former is methodologically preferable, in general, because it makes
it clear that "C" represents a count to be used with Text_IO column
and line operations.
