Note: Section 4.5.2 (2) of the Ada Reference Manual says:
A membership test, using in or not in, determines whether or not a value
belongs to a given subtype or range, or has a tag that identifies a type
that is covered by a given type. Membership tests are allowed for all types.

The expression 1 .. 3500 declares an integer range, _not_ an enumeration.

The point would be that you might learn more about Assembler, Ada, and
programming in general, if you did as I suggest.
