You removed more than that.

You don't have anything named Convert2character, nor do you have Chardigit or 
Carry declared anywhere, and you index a String by 1 without any reason to 
expect that 1 is in its range, so it's hard to tell what might be happening. I'm 
also not sure what you mean by nothing being returned; do you mean execution 
entered the function and stopped? An exception is raised?

In any case, if the only change you made was to add a Put_Line, then it appears 
you have a compiler bug. You didn't mention what compiler you're using, but you 
might want to inform your compiler vendor.
