I ran three times totally, I will explain as it is what happened every time.

First Run:
Code:
I gave one transaction number for example 990th out of 1200 totally.
Output file has 1st transaction till - 990th transaction.
output file name created was:
Transaction #0000004646 extracted to file /tmp/remedixz.20160120_085021_41222370_1_0000004646

Second run:
Code:
I gave two transaction numbers for example 410th and 990th transaction number. This time the output file created has transactions from 410 - 990.
output file name created was:
Transaction #0000004646 extracted to file /tmp/remedixz.20160120_085021_41222370_1_0000004646
Transaction #0000004646 extracted to file /tmp/remedixz.20160120_085021_41222370_1_0000004646

Third Run:
Code:
I gave 3 transaction numbers for ex: 330th 410th 990th. This time also the output file created with transactions from 410 - 990. It did not take 330 into account.
This time out files created was :
Transaction #0000004646 extracted to file /tmp/remedixz.20160120_085021_41222370_1_0000004646
Transaction #0000004646 extracted to file /tmp/remedixz.20160120_085021_41222370_1_0000004646
Transaction #0000004646 extracted to file /tmp/remedixz.20160120_085021_41222370_1_0000004646

Note for all the runs only one output file created with extn 0000004646(I am not understanding from where this 4646 is coming from).
Can you please suggest.
Thanks.

dfstab

dfstab(4)							   File Formats 							 dfstab(4)

NAME

       dfstab - file containing commands for sharing resources across a network

DESCRIPTION

       dfstab  resides	in  directory /etc/dfs and contains commands for sharing resources across a network. dfstab gives a system administrator a
       uniform method of controlling the automatic sharing of local resources.

       Each line of the dfstab file consists of a share(1M) command. The dfstab file can be read by the  shell	to  share  all	resources.  System
       administrators can also prepare their own shell scripts to execute particular lines from dfstab.

       The contents of dfstab put into effect when the command shown below is run. See svcadm(1M).

	 /usr/sbin/svcadm enable network/nfs/server

SEE ALSO

       share(1M), shareall(1M), sharemgr(1M), svcadm(1M)

NOTES

       Do  not modify this file directly. This file is reconstructed and only maintained for backwards compatibility. Configuration lines could be
       lost.

       Use the sharemgr(1M) command for all share management.
