Can you use arrays from another package ?

["Jon" <jkjw@brighton.ac.uk>]

say the main program is calle MAIN.ADB

and uses 2 packages X and Y

if there is an array of records in X called A.

how do i use the array A in Y ?

e.g

package body X is
    type R is record
        hi : string;
        bye : integer;
    end record;

    A : array(1..10) of R;

end X;


now in Y, how do i use that array ? ive tried this :

package body Y is

    get( X.A(1).hi );

end Y;


but it doesnt work, does anyone know how to do it ?


thanks
