I don't have an exec, but I do have a PIPE filter that does this.
actually you can set the type of header lines you wish to discard.
It's not the best example of plumbing (since it was one of my first)
but it does get the job done and fairly quickly. As it is set up, you
also need the REXXVARS program. That's how it reads in the
'configuration' info.  This info is stored (using REXXVARS) by a small
exec.
