Use a discriminated type. See RM section 3.7;

An examples of discriminated type:

type Buffer(Size : Buffer_Size := 100)  is       
   record
      Value : String(1 .. Size);
   end record;

Hi,

I need to use an array in a record and this array's bound is not known at
compile time. Can Ada do this? Can someone give me a example about how to do
this or any reference that I can use?

Thanks!
