You can record tasks performed in Murex via its GUI much the same way you can record macros in Excel.
First you need to type something like this on the console: client_script.cmd /MXJ_SCRIPT_WRITE_TO:test.xml [Enter]
This should launch the GUI and whatever steps you take will be recorded in the test.xml file.
Then you can type something like this on the console: client_script.cmd /MXJ_SCRIPT_READ_FROM:test.xml [Enter]
This will execute everything recorded in the first step above.
Below is an example which creates a script file and then executes it with the Shell function. Click here for the full code.
Sub ExtractMurexPositions()
Dim sPath As String,
xmlFile As String, logFile As String, MXProgram As String
xmlFile = "pos.xml" 'the script file
logFile = "pos.log" 'contains a string indicating if the script was terminated normally or abnormally
Const MUREX_SCRIPT_NAME = "client_script.cmd"
Const MUREX_MACRO_DIR = "C:\Program Files\Murex"
Const UPLOAD_DIR = "c:\tmp"
Const mxPassword = "0090006000f0005600470"
Const mxID = "MUREX"
Const DynamicTable = "POSITIONS"
Const UserGroup = "TOKYO"
If CreateMXMLFile(MUREX_MACRO_DIR & xmlFile) Then

sPath = CurDir
ChDrive Left(MUREX_MACRO_DIR, 1)
ChDir MUREX_MACRO_DIR
MXProgram = MUREX_SCRIPT_NAME & " /MXJ_SCRIPT_READ_FROM:" & xmlFile & _
" /MXJ_SCRIPT_LOG_FILE:" & UPLOAD_DIR & logFile
Shell MXProgram, vbNormalFocus
On Error Resume Next
ChDrive Left(sPath, 1)
ChDir sPath
Else
MsgBox "Could not create script file", vbExclamation, " Murex Script"
End If
Murex
