Ada.Text_IO.Integer_IO and Ada.Text_IO.Modular_IO both declare

      Default_Base  : Number_Base := 10;

This is a variable, so you can change it.

However, that outputs in based-literal format.

You can use PragmARC.Images (https://github.com/jrcarter/PragmARC) to 
obtain images in any base without the base information. Image width and 
zero filling are also provided.
