Newbie - error with 'Limited Type' assignment

["Baldy" <mike@delfan.co.uk>]

Hi All,

I hope someone here can help me out? this ADA stuff is new to me.

I'm trying to pass a FILE_TYPE reference to a task within a seperate package
from the main program. The compiler, AdaGIDE, says this is not allowed as it
is a limited type. How can I do this correctly.

Here's a snippet of the code i'm using:

package body PhonePkg is
    task body phone_line is
        This_Simulation_Data : FILE_TYPE;
    begin
        accept Start_Lines(Simulation_Data : in FILE_TYPE)
            This_Simulation_Data := Simulation_Data; << error here
        end Start_Lines;
    end phone_line;
end PhonePkg;


Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Mike
