Ofcourse you can do it. You can do it by a simple sort.
You can use either INCLUDE COND or EXCLUDE COND in the
sysin part.

Ex: If you want to delete a record whose first 4 characters
are 'BBBB', you can do it with the following sysin card,

SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(1,4,CH,NE'BBBB')

OR
SORT FIELDS=COPY
EXCLUDE COND=(1,4,CH,EQ'BBBB')
