How to exclude header lines from being sorter/filtered? For example, I have the following file:
FIRSTNAME LASTNAME YEAR OTHERDATA ---------- --------- ---- --------- JOHN SMITH 1945 eeeeeeeee JOE ZAWINUL 1932 rrrrrrrrr GEORGE ALTMARK 1954 fffffffff I want to sort by lastname: FIRSTNAME LASTNAME YEAR OTHERDATA ---------- --------- ---- --------- GEORGE ALTMARK 1954 fffffffff JOHN SMITH 1945 eeeeeeeee JOE ZAWINUL 1932 rrrrrrrrr Actually I see the solution: copy header to temp file (STOPAFT=2) and merget it with sortout, but I believe there is simpler way to do that.
