But how would you get the 2nd 100 (101 - 200) and the 3rd 100 (301 to 400) 
without writing a subroutine to do it?

Caryl has the idea here if you really want the "Last" 100.
You can Sort BY-DSND which means "by descending" so if you want the last 
alphabetically or the last by ID or the last by some other field you can sort 
on that and then Sample 100 ?  I've NEVER tried this.  Does it work?

If that doesn't work you can EXECUTE a sort by dsnd and then simply write a 
brief BASIC routine to pull off the "first" 100 of that list and output it!
