Assuming that you only use DONE as an inactive todo, I believe you can
get all headings *not* marked done with the following search:

C-c a m /-DONE

Are you perhaps thinking of the default setting for stuck projects?

(setq org-stuck-projects 
      '("+LEVEL=2/-DONE" ("TODO" "NEXT" "NEXTACTION") nil ""))

This defines projects based on their level (i.e., all level two items
not marked DONE).

Best,
Matt
