One utility you can do this with is DFSORT using a job like the one below. I assumed your input file has RECFm=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY,STOPAFT=11
  OUTFIL REMOVECC,BUILD=(/,1,80)
