You'll have to provide more source code.  There's nothing in the
fragment you did provide that would indicate CE gets raised.

Is June_Completed a subtype?  Do you do this:

declare
   June_Completed : Boolean range False .. False := False;
begin
...
   June_Completed := True;
...
end;

Of course, this really would raise CE.

You're not using a debugger?  

Are you using a compiler that supports display of Exception_Information?
