I can't tell what the error is, because you didn't post the whole
example.  There are probably many procedures called "Get", and the
compiler couldn't find the "right" one, unambiguously.  Is there a Get
that takes Month as parameter?  The advice in the error message (use
-gnatf for details) is good.  Do that.  It will print out a whole lot of
details, which might help you figure out what's wrong.  If you still
can't figure it out, try posting the whole example, and maybe somebody
will help.
