If I understand both you and the code correctly then you just want to keep one (the first) matched line from @save:

        my $keep = '';
        foreach (@save){
            $_ = "" unless ($_ =~ m/"ENABLED","OLTP",/ && $_ =~m/^GREP
+/ );
            $_ = "" if ($_ =~m/SYSMAN/|| m/SYS/);
            if ($_) {
                $keep = $_;
                last;
            }
        }

        open(FILE, ">>OLTP.txt") or die ("error occured while opening 
+file OLTP.txt");
        print FILE $keep if $keep;
        close(FILE);

Obviously untested since we don't have your data. You might be better off refactoring the script but hopefully this will get you started. HTH.
