COBOL to XSD Conversion

I am trying to use the COBOL to XSD conversion process.  The copybook is from a legacy TANDEM system, includes a "NATIVE-2" data type, and the conversion process is not accepting it (error below).  I understand this is an older data type.  Does QTAssistant not support it, or is there something specific we must do?

  02 UPDATE-COUNTER                NATIVE-2.

~[10,36] expecting: '.'
Current token: [NATIVE-2]

Re: COBOL to XSD Conversion

Our parser doesn't seem to support this type. If you can please provide more information about the syntax of these NATIVE clauses, and what they mean in terms of mapping to a format (e.g. numeric, display, etc.) we could update the parser and the XSD mapper. Alternatively, if you could change the NATIVE-2 to a supported PICTURE clause, it might be faster. Please let us know.
