On September 21, 1996 a filament located in a region close to an enhanced network was observed with the SOHO SUMER and CDS instruments. Four Lyman lines have been detected (Lδ, Lϵ, L-6, L-7) by SUMER in the raster mode. We have corrected the spectral data for flatfield and destreching and made wavelength and absolute intensity calibrations. In all these lines we detect a central absorption and an asymmetry in the intensity of the two peaks. Preliminary NLTE computations indicate that these Lyman profiles and their absolute intensities can be reproduced with the existing models provided that we take into account a prominence-corona transition region (PCTR).
