CREATING A HEADER RECORD ON A TEXT FILE.

I am creating a txt file by doing the following:
open '{FILEPREFIX}filename.txt{FILESUFFIX}' as 1 for-writing
record=132:fixed
I do my select and output as follows:
write 1 from $FILLER:45
$DED_AMT:7
$PAY_End_DT:6
$BIRTHDATE:6
$NAME:26
This works fine by giving be a list of data.
Here comes the problem. I now need to create a header (summary) record line to preceed the data
dump. Do I create
two write 1 from lines? Or is there a better way?
Please help...TY, CK
