Original attribution lost.
Assuming Inigo Garcia actually meant:

a=findgen(4,1000)
b=a(2, *)

Try the following to get rid of the leading dimension:
c = Reform(a(2, *))

From the IDL online help:
The REFORM function changes the dimensions of an array without changing the
total number of elements. If no dimensions are specified, REFORM returns a
copy of Array with all leading dimensions of size 1 removed.
