NATIVE is a data type attribute (applying to Fixed Binary items only) that specifies the internal storage for the data item is LSB first (or MSB "right -to- left"). This attribute is applicable only to Little-Endian machine architectures (such as Intel), and is the default if not specified. For Big-endian architectures, this attribute is ignored.
Example:
dcl flag fixed bin (15) static initial (1) native;
