The DTA specification notes, that every record in a DTA file needs to have a unique 5-diget sequence number. I scanned the codebase and it seems that the caller of payment_dta needs to supply the sequence number for every record. Wouldn't it be simpler if the sequence number was calculated by payment_dta internally and the caller does not need to care? Are there reasons not to implement the automatic numbering?
