Answer / shiv

Sreenu is also right, but we have another option as well.
Use head and tail stages in datastage like this:

Seq_File-->Tail_stage--->Head_Stage---->Dataset(Target)

in this way first u can exclude the first record using tail specify 999 record in tail stage, then u can exlclude last record by using head stage.(998 top records).
