Eliminating Header Rows in a report

Hi,
I have a FB file which is has a multi page report.Each report has a standard headers (company name & other details) which is about 8 lines.
The format of the file will be like this>

( Company name:Report name:etc.... ) for the first 8 lines

Actual report data ( from line num 9 thru 58)

then the second page of the report which again has the standard header as mentioned above (59 thru 66) thn the report continues with standard report length of (58 lines)...

Now I need to remove the eight header lines from the fB file which occurs repeatedly.

I cant use Omit with eight conditions with report heading.

Is there any way to use seqnum with restart & then use a single OMIT ?

Thanks

//TOOLIN DD * *** CONSTANT CONTROL CARDS ***
SELECT FROM(I1) TO(O1) NODUPS ON(1,100,CH)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
SUM FIELDS=NONE
/*

I tried to use the above mentioned step and it gave me the required result...but the resultant report was sorted and it messed up the final report...Is there any way to copy without getting the output sorted ?
