SCS spoolfiles? Could you use CPYSPLF with *FCFC to a file, duplicate
the pages you need duplicated, and then copy it back to a printerfile?

Subject: Printing each page multiple times
Our client would like to replace the printing of 5 part forms (each a
different color) on a pin-feed with collated forms (not connected) with
the same colors (in the same order) on a laser printer.
If these forms only printed on one page, using CL to change the number
of copies would work. However, these forms frequently exceed one page
(which would create page 1 white, page 2 blue, etc.).
The apparent best solution on IBM i would be a parameter on OVRPRTF that
would allow each page to be printed x times (default = 1), but none
exists.
(Client is on V7R1.) [Note: System z does have such a parameter in its
JCL.]
I have developed a procedure to utilize System i Navigator, but it adds
too much time to the printing process.
I also know that I could table everything inside the program and print
each page 5 times. However, this problem does not appear to be unique,
so an easier solution may exist. [If possible, the client would like to
save development dollars.]
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Don
PS I did see the November 2010 discussion 'Printer for 4-part forms'.
