Instead I want to use the Put procedure to show certain values. Normally that is no such a program with the Predifined Language attributes (mostly with the 'image attribute). Now I have the following: type Buffer_Pointer is limited private;    type Block_Buffer is record       nr       : integer;       buf      : Item;       previous : Buffer_Pointer := null;       next     : Buffer_Pointer := null;    end record;       El  : Buffer_Pointer := LastBuffer;       El1 : Buffer_Pointer; I just want to see if the routing of thedifferent Buffer_Pointer's is correct so I thought Buffer_Pointer'Image(El) would show the value of The Pointer El f.i. ?x000000 for null or even the simpel decimal value 0. This construction creates a failure during compiling. Should I use another attribute or some other construction?
