A SEQ device is specified for the PAYOTIME file. When the program is run, you can use a IBM i override command to specify the actual device (such as printer, tape, or diskette) to be associated with the file while the program is running. For example, diskette can be specified for some program runs while printer can be specified for others. The file description, pointed to by the file name, can specify the actual device, in which case an override command need not be used.
