Yes, but you can have two-entries: one returning the length and the 
second returning the data, so you could do something like:

Function Get_String( X : The_Task ) return String is
   Length : Natural;
begin
   X.Get_Length( Length );
   Return Result : String(1..Length) do
     X.Get_Data( Result );
   end return;
end;
