If you don't need the physical file for anything except to extract from it, you can just establish a SEQNUM for each selection, and just use an OUTFIL (or more) with your selection by number. Saves the SORT, the creation of the new file, and the processing of the new file, just cutting straight to the chase, the extract(s) you want.
