Thanks all for the input!

I will do it like this so start with. I can add the option to have
exception added later :-)

Now my next question is should a case statment be:

   case Number is

      when others =>
         null;
   end case;

Or simply:

   case Number is

   end case;

I'm leaning towards the latter as this is also how ada-mode does it.

Thanks in advance.

Preben
