Sonata error:Help

Hi All,
I wrote the following code as a part of a larger design.The procedure is
basically to add 2 -Width- bit vectors which are in twos complement
representation.I used a generic b-bit adder for this purpose.
My problem is that Sonata on compilation gives the following error(s):

----------------------------
I have included the procedure below.The adder compiles cleanly;it is only
the instantiation (line54) giving errors.
----------------The Code--------------

procedure add( signal A,B:in std_logic_vector(0 to Width-1);signal
sum:eek:ut std_logic_vector(0 to Width-1)) is --A+B
begin
if ((A(Width-1)='0') and (B(Width-1)='0')) then --both
positive
sum(Width-1)<='0';
--line54: adder1:adder generic map (bitsize=>Width-1) port
map (X=>A(0 to Width-2),Y=>B(0 to Width-2),Ci=>zero,S=>temp(0 to
Width-2),Co=>car) ;
if(car='0') then
sum(0 to Width-2)<=temp;
ovf<=false;
else
ovf<=true;
end if;
--.....and rest of code
----------------------------------------
I want to know if the instantiation inside the procedure is right,and the
reasons and solution(s) for compile error.
Thanks a lot.

No.
A procedure can contain only sequential statements.
An instance is a process, and must be in architecture scope.
