How do I convert a natural program to ascii format to be used in a packaged tool for analysis.

I am not sure I understand your question.

Natural source programs are simply text. Natural object code is a proprietary combination of text and machine instructions.

There is a utility, called SYSOBJH, which can upload/download Natural objects. Perhaps you might use it.
