There is no need to declare a string for the filename, as the
command name is available as Ada.Command_Line.Command_Name;


If you must assign it to your own string, you can do so without
knowing its length as follows:

Filename : constant String := Ada.Command_Line.Command_Name;

Which Ada95 compiler is used makes no difference.
