how to run Impromptu macro from command line?

[zaibz]

I am trying to run impromptu macro from command line using the steps below:
1. In the task bar, click Start, and click Run.
2. Browse for the file and click OK to return to the Run dialog box or type the fully qualified file name in the Open or Run box.
3. Type - m with the fully qualified file name of the macro, and click OK.
But it simply opens up that macro in Cognos script editor and not actually runs that.
Can somebody help me figure out why its happening so?
Thanks !

As it is a macro, you need to insert it in Cognso report

Report--> macro--> Add the macro.

It will run when the report is opened.

You can run the REPORT from cmd prompt

Try adding the .MCX rather than the .MAC to the run dialog box.

If that fails the command line is:

<Your Cognos Installation dir>\cer?\bin\runmac32.exe <macro name>.

For example mine is :

c:\Program Files\cognos\cer2\bin\runmac32.exe mymac.mcx

Thanks Starg!

Adding .MCX worked.
