The SDSF "FILTER" command normally applies to tabular panels like "DA" or "ST" 
and not browse panels (of which "LOG O" aka OPERLOG is one).

In 1995, SDSF added some special case code so that FILTER would work in 
TSO/ISPF with the "LOG O" panel , however it appears this was never implemented 
into the REXX interface. We will take a look to see if there were architectural 
reasons why this is the case or whether this is just an omission (or a 
regression).

Local testing shows that the ISFFILTER special variable is ignored for "ISFLOG 
READ TYPE(OPERLOG)" function calls on z/OS 2.3 and 2.4.

In the meantime, I suggest you implement some sort of REXX exec filtering using 
functions like "POS" or "INDEX" on the OPERLOG rows that are returned in the 
ISFLINE stem variables.
