As users can read under the following link http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-main@bama.ua.edu/msg63320.html extracting data from relocatable sections is an issue.
Using enhanced filtering techniques resolves this issue as it supports relocatable sections not found till 2010 under the standard SORT programs. In addition you cannot dump records within the same program as many times required by a user.
„Some other smf record types are not so simple because you need to use the triplet for the offset to the section that had the data.“
