Normally in JCLs calling natural program, data is passed
using some control cards. In the natural program, the data
is received in the same order using INPUT statement similar
to STACK processing.
Data definition in Natural is done using following:
DEFINE DATA
1 #VARIABLE1 (A10) /* Alphabetic variable of length 10
..
..
END-DEFINE
