So basically I'm trying to read a VHDL file with 3 colors (R,G,B)
with these formats :

image_width = 1666;
image_height = 1267;
Bit depth = 4;

I'm getting a fatal error at line 108 which is
(Sorry for the sudoku code ).

Did you single step through the source code?

Pls use the [vhdl] tags to wrap your code. See "Formatting options" a 
few lines over each text input box.

I tried a smaller code to check if read function is working correctly or 
not .

When I run the simulation I keep getting this :

# Loading std.standard
# Loading std.textio(body)
# Loading ieee.std_logic_1164(body)
# Loading ieee.numeric_std(body)
# Loading std.env(body)
# Loading work.readbmp(reading)

Nothing else? On which simulator? Can you do single stepping on that

Pls. post that CODE in ASCII as a *.vhd odr a *.vhdl file. Its simply 
impossible to copy&past some test out of a picture.

Or do it as I already wrote:

Yes nothing else showed up .

I tried to wait for half an hour thinking that the data that I wrote may 
too big but it's actually not .

What do you mean by single stepping on the simulator ? I don't know 
that.

It just keeps showing these messages
# Loading std.standard
# Loading std.textio(body)
# Loading ieee.std_logic_1164(body)
# Loading ieee.numeric_std(body)
# Loading std.env(body)
