Or direct the output of VAR to HOLE to discard it all without delay:

 'PIPE stack' ,
   '| spec 33.8 1' ,
   '| var EXPDT' ,
   '| hole'

Two things are important to know about VAR here:
When it's used without the TRACKING parameter,
1. it reads only the first record, and
2. it shorts the input to the output after reading that record.
