There are a number of people here who are trying to help you but both your problem description and your level of Ada knowledge are unclear. Shark8's response was a good faith effort to correct you on Ada syntax because it's unclear what your level of Ada knowledge is. My questions, along with the questions others are asking you, are good faith attempts to try and help you clarify the problem so someone can offer more precise guidance.
