Usage Note 3947: FIRSTOBS= OPTION is not applicable with MODIFY statement
Since the MODIFY statement opens a SAS data set in update mode, the
default value for FIRSTOBS= OPTION is 1. This cannot be changed by
specifying the FIRSTOBS= OPTION with a higher value.
This is currently undocumented, but will be added in SAS 9.0.
