RE: Printing two copies of report

Neil,
If you have Taatools you could do:

In your cl program that prints the invoices, you could add the command
DUPSPLF after the call to the program that produces the output. You
would need to do an OVRPRTF to the printer file name you are duplicating
to with the new drawer number.

I am not sure how you would get the wording correct on each of the
prints.

Subject: Printing two copies of report

Is there an easy way to print two copies of a report, one from drawer 1
and one from drawer 2) from one output queue entry?

Idea is one copy of invoice will be scanned into an imaging system and
become a legal document, need to make sure they are identical, hence not
wanting to do two passes of print program (or two printer files in one
program).

One more complication, one copy will need "SHIPING COPY" at the bottom,
and the other "CUSTOMER COPY", so either that needs to be printed
differently on each copy (therefore we'd HAVE to have two spool files
anyway) or when printing two copies on ewould have drawer 1 and one
overlay and the other drawer 2 and a different overlay. 

Is this something that could be done with Form Definition objects?
(One more complication - it's an IBM 1145 printing with IPDS attach).
