Ok guys i tried lots of other ways but so far nothing. what i did is created a file called pro3types but the script starts & by pass the file. i added +x to file ran the process but still no luck.
i was wondering what else i should change to get the menu to the sub-categories of product3 after users selecting it. here is the code:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo SELECTTYPE
export -n selecttypechoice

if [ "${upgrade}" == "yes" ] ; then
  selecttypechoice=${upgrade_type}
else
  [ -a ./types ]
  if [ $? = 0 ] ; then  
##### Select Type from types file
  	echo --title \"$installproductchoice Server Role\" --menu \"Select Role to install\" 20 48 6 > /tmp/selecttype.dialog
    for vpackages in `cat types`; do
     if [ "$typesexception" = ""] ; then
    echo \"$vpackages\" Role >> /tmp/selecttype.dialog;
     else
    if [ "selecttypechoice" = " product3 "] ; then      
      [ ./pro3types ]
    else
        echo $typesexception | grep -i "$vpackages"
        if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
          echo .
        else
          echo \"$vpackages\" Role >> /tmp/selecttype.dialog;
        fi
      fi
    fi
done;
        
    dialog --file /tmp/selecttype.dialog 2> /tmp/selecttype.choice
    if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
      export selecttypechoice=`cat /tmp/selecttype.choice`;
    else
      export -n selecttypechoice;
    fi
    reset
    echo selecttypechoice $selecttypechoice
    if [ "$selecttypechoice" = "" ] ; then
      echo Aborted: User Aborted while selecting a $installproductchoice Role
      echo .........Try again !!
      exit ;
    fi
  fi
fi

echo

echo(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						  echo(1B)

NAME

       echo - echo arguments to standard output

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]

DESCRIPTION

       echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.

       echo  is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
       ronment variables.

       For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:

	   o	  echo your current-working-directory's full pathname

	   o	  pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters

	   o	  pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.

		    example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"

       See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.

       The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be  invoked	if
       the  user  calls  echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
       characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the  black-slashed  escape  characters,	and  ksh's
       echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.

OPTIONS

       -n    Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
