Compilation error

Hello,
I have error in the process below;
My process is:
1. process(cycle)
2. begin
3. case cycle is
4.
5.
6. WHEN "000000" | "000001" | "000010" => REG <= "001000";
7. WHEN "000011" to "011101" => REG <= "000000";
8. WHEN "011110" | "011111" | "100000" => REG <= "001010";
9. WHEN "100001" => REG <=
"000010";
10. WHEN "100010" | "100011" | "100100" => REG <= "001101";
11. WHEN "100101" to "101000" => REG <= "000101";
12.
13. WHEN OTHERS => REG <="000000";
14.
15. end case;
16. end process;
The line 7 and 11 are considered as error : " Range must be a scalar type".
What can I specified the range "000011" to "011101" in VHDL language ?
Thanks in advance

type".

You can't. However, you are using these values rather like numbers,
so it may be easier to convert them to integers for use in the case
statement:
case to_integer(cycle) is
...
when 3 to 29 => REG <= "000000";
...
Of course, the precise form of "to_integer" depends on what
numeric packages you are using, and the data type of "cycle".
If "cycle" is the output of a counter, and you have been
sensible and used ieee.numeric_std, and cycle is of type
UNSIGNED, then to_integer() is correct.
