Subject: Deleting first record from stream files in IFS.

My problem is dealing with the headings when transferring data from the
CSV to a DB2 not designed to handle a record for headings. My only idea
at this point is to use the IFS APIs in an HLL program to read all CSV
records except the first one into a temporary CSV file, then perform
CPYFRMIMPF on the temporary CSV file.  

Anyone have any better ideas for deleting the first line (headings) in a
stream file in the IFS?

Thanks,
Kelly
