Here you enter "12.3<Return>"
Get consumes the number and leaves <Return> in the input stream.

Here, Get_Line consumes the rest of the previous input up to the
<Return>, in your case the rest is empty.
(If you had entered 12.3 xxx<Return>, the contents of UBS would be "
xxx".)
So you have no opportunity to enter a further string.
What you need, is a Skip_Line after the Get(A_Float).
