Thanks junior-helper for the help.

Sorry i was struck with imp release.

Now am back.

I tried what you said but it doesn't do anything, script just run and comeback.

Code:
admin@HP1 # cat script.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash

ufile=$1 #user file name
#ulf=$2 #user line from
ulf=25 #user line from
ult=30 #user line to

ifile=$4 #item file name
ilf=$5 #item line from
ilt=$6 #item line to

for user in `awk -vULF=$ulf -vULT=$ult 'NR>=ULF && NR<=ULT' $ufile` ; do
 for item in `awk -vILF=$ilf -vILT=$ilt 'NR>=ILF && NR<=ILT' $ifile` ; do
  echo $user @ $item
 done
done

I have both itemlsit and userlist file with 100 lines data in each

admin@HP1 # wc -l userlist itemlist
100 userlist
100 itemlist
200 total

Am i missing something here ?

My OS is :
uname -a
SunOS HP1 5.10 Generic_144489-09 i86pc i386 i86pc

Please let me know

getitems

getitems(1F)							   FMLI Commands						      getitems(1F)

NAME

       getitems - returns a list of currently marked menu items

SYNOPSIS

       getitems [delimiter_string]

DESCRIPTION

       The  getitems  function returns the value of lininfo if defined, else it returns the value of the name descriptor, for all currently marked
       menu items. Each value in the list is delimited by delimiter_string. The default value of delimiter_string is newline.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: A sample output of getitems command.

       The done descriptor in the following menu definition file executes getitems when the user presses  ENTER (note that the	menu  is  multise-
       lect):

       Menu="Example"
       multiselect=TRUE
       done=`getitems ":" | message`
       name="Item 1"
       action=`message "You selected item 1"`
       name="Item 2"
       lininfo="This is item 2"
       action=`message "You selected item 2"`
       name="Item 3"
       action=`message "You selected item 3"`

       If a user marked all three items in this menu, pressing	ENTER would cause the following string to be displayed on the message line:

       Item 1:This is item 2:Item 3

NOTES

       Because lininfo is defined for the second menu item, its value is displayed instead of the value of the name descriptor.
