FIRSTCASE subcommand (GET DATA command)

FIRSTCASE specifies the first line (row) to read for the first case of data. This allows you to bypass information in the first n lines of the file that either don’t contain data or contain data that you don’t want to read. This subcommand applies to both fixed and delimited file formats.

The only specification for this subcommand is an integer greater than zero that indicates the number of lines to skip. The default is 1.
