Please show the code that declares Positive_count, and the calls of Line
and Col, and explain in which file they are located, and whether those
files (or the corresponding .ads files) contain any "use" context-clauses.
Showing the compiler's error message would also be helpful. Usually an
ambiguity problem means that there are several different subprograms
with the same name, and the compiler does not know which one you want to
call, because the types of the parameters and the result are not
sufficiently constraining, or because the call does not qualify the
subprogram name with a package name.
