Here's how I do it:

with Ada.Float_Text_Io;
with Ada.Strings;
with Ada.Strings.Fixed;
with Ada.Text_Io;
procedure DemoFormat is

  function Float_To_String( f : Float; aft : Natural ) return String is
    result : String( 1 .. 64 );
  begin
    Ada.Float_Text_Io.Put( result, f, aft, 0 );
    return Ada.Strings.Fixed.Trim( result, Ada.Strings.Both );
  end Float_To_String;

begin
  Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line( Float_To_String( 123.456, 3 ) );
end DemoFormat;
