You can do this DFSORT OMIT
Say your records starts at position 1 and ends at position 10
Code like:

OMIT COND= (1, 10, CH, EQ, C !)
here,
CH- type i.e. character
EQ- equal to i.e. relational operator

Anyone wants to correct?
welcome!

Omit will omit the complete record where it finds the matching condition. If we know the location of special char data, we can reformat data using INREC FIELDS option. where we can omit that column and include remaining data location.
correct me, if I am wrong...
