Immediatly after openning the file, read one line into a dummy variables.

  let $filename = '{FILEPREFIX}' || $filename
  open $filename as 10 for-reading record=70

  read 10 into $ignore_first_line:70

  while #end-file = 0
      do read-next-line
      if #end-file = 0
          let $valid = $yes
          do validate-emplid
          do validate-dedcd
          if $valid = $yes
              do check-existing-record
              if $exists = $yes
                  do update-deduction-record
              else
                  do write-deduction-record
              end-if
          else
              do print-error

Is it possible to open a file for reading but have it skip the first line
in
this file?  The first line is a header and the data I need to pull from
this
file starts under this header.

Currently I am manually opening this file and deleting the first line but
would like to see if I can have this automated.

The file I am opening is a flat file with a fixed length layout.
Any help is appreciated.
Dan
