    If you want to keep the blank line between records, you also need to set the ORS variable. You want to use awk’s matching operator ~ on the second field.

    awk '
    BEGIN {RS=""; FS="\n"; ORS="\n\n"} 
    $2 ~ /New Code\?/ {next} 
    {print}
'

    As @EdMorton mentions, this can be written more concisely:

    awk 'BEGIN {RS=""; FS="\n"; ORS="\n\n"} $2 !~ /New Code\?/'
