Reading Certain Rows in a Text File

I have a text file with 5 rows containing serial numbers for reporting. I have a simple program using Do/Until and a counter to check 5 parts. I can get pcdmis to read the first line of the text file but how can I get pcdmis to skip the first line and move down the text file for each do/until?

For example:
D111111
D222222
D333333
D444444
D555555

DO/

ASSIGN/V1="C:\USERS\**************************************READ. TXT"

FPTR =FILE/OPEN,V1,READ
V3 =FILE/READ_UPTO,FPTR,"7"
FILE/CLOSE,FPTR,KEEP

COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
"Serial Number is "+V3

COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,AUTO-CONTINUE=NO,
              PLEASE LOAD PART

CIR1 =FEAT/CONTACT/CIRCLE/DEFAULT,CARTESIAN,OUT,LEAST_SQR
THEO/<0,0,0>,<0,0,1>,1,0
ACTL/<0,0,0>,<0,0,1>,1,0
TARG/<0,0,0>,<0,0,1>
START ANG=0,END ANG=360
ANGLE VEC=<1,0,0>
DIRECTION=CCW
SHOW FEATURE PARAMETERS=NO
SHOW CONTACT PARAMETERS=YES
NUMHITS=3,DEPTH=0,PITCH=0
SAMPLE METHOD=SAMPLE_HITS
SAMPLE HITS=1,SPACER=0
AVOIDANCE MOVE=BOTH,DISTANCE=0.5
FIND HOLE=DISABLED,ONERROR=NO,READ POS=NO
SHOW HITS=NO

ASSIGN/COUNTER=COUNTER+1

UNTIL/COUNTER==5

I think you should open the file before the Do/
Here, you open the file for each do, so you do it from the first line.

The file open command should be outside the DO loop for clarity, but it's the File/Close command that's causing your issue. Move the File/Close command below the UNTIL/COUNTER==5 line.
