No, you have to use the character operations of Text_IO (if your characters are 
of type Standard.Character. No conversion to Standard.String is necessary.

Note that you may write:
ote that you may write:

procedure My_Program is

  type My_Character is (something, 'A', 'a', 'B', 'b', anything);
  type My_String is array (Positive range <>) of My_Character;

  V: My_String := "AAbbbA" & something & "aBBB";

begin

  ...

end My_Program;

String literals like "AAbbbA" are available for all character types, a character 
type being a type with at least one character literal, a character literal being 
something like 'a'. Note that the apperance of something and anything above in 
the type definition does not prevent My_Character from being a character type, 
you only cannot put these literals into a string literal, you have to do it in 
the way above. These strings are however not compatible with Standard.String, so 
you cannot use Text_IO with them directly.
