1) i am getting the parameter_specification using

 params : Asis.Parameter_Specification_List :=
                 asis.Declarations.Parameter_Profile
                   (element);

2) from params i am getting the parameter name using

 names: asis.Defining_Name_list :=
                       asis.declarations.Names(params(i));

3) i am also getting the parameter mode_kind using

mode_kind : Asis.Mode_Kinds :=
                       asis.elements.mode_kind
                         (params(i));

it looks like this

param  =  b : in out float
name  =   b
mode kind  = AN_IN_OUT_MODE

but i also want the type of the parameter, eg float.

anybody know how ???
