I have a model that iterates over unique field values and uses the select tool to output features as shapefiles using the unique value as the naming convention. It works....sort of.  It runs through the entire iteration but only outputs the first 2 results.  The first 2 results are correct but where are the rest of my files going?!  Attached is my toolbox.  You can use any data you want in it.

Using version 10.2.2.

If you just have need for a toolset to perform that task use Split Layer By Attributes​ or to at least check your model functionality

Thanks Dan,  That seems to do what I need albeit the file naming convention.  I can go into your script and change that to what I need it to.

Still curious as to why my model doesn't work right.  Maybe someone from esri will chime in.

Thanks,

I had to add a Create Feature Class tool after the select. I don't understand why select has an output option if it's not going to work.  But this brings another issue.  My shapfiles are being created with the correct name but they aren't be loaded in with the data that was supposed to be selected using the Select Tool.

check Geoprocessing Options to ensure that "results of geoprocessing options are added to display" is checked on
