Yes it is. DTA (or also called DTAUS) is an offline payment method and
would thus probably fit best to e.g. paymentlib_offline_dta. The
generated DTA file uses plain ASCII with fixed block/field lengths. It
could be used for direct debit or bank transfer. The file contains the
remittee and the payer of the money. It is also possible to have many
payments (payment records) in one DTA file.
The file itself could then be imported to an banking application
software to execute the payments using a secure layer (e.g. HBCI).

Unfortunately I don't. I have a complete spec of all fields, their
disposal and length - but this is also written in German. Maybe the
reason is, that this payment method is only used in Germany.
