No cost and I was hoping for an assembler program.  But if I don't get one this 
REXX
will do the trick, thanks!

Do you need no-cost? If not, Compuware's FileAid. Zero cost - use REXX.

/* rexx */
do forever
   "execio 1 diskr sysut1"
   if rc<> 0 then leave
   parse pull record
   if 'xxx' = substr(record,10,3) then iterate /* ignore xxx records */
   push record
   "execio 1 diskw sysut2"
end
"execio 0 diskr sysut1(finis"
"execio 0 diskw sysut2(finis"
