The printer type will be a big factor in getting this to work as well. The
following list is from IBM:

Hi John
I'll start off by being intrigued as to why you want to print the same
thing
out side by side, rather than printing multiple copies of the spool file?
The MULTIUP(2) parameter will print two pages on the same sheet, so you
will
get pages 1 and 2 on the first sheet followed by pages 3 and 4 on the
second
etc.
I think you have two options you can follow up:
1) Write a routine to read your original spool file and then reprint it as
page 1, page 1, page 2, page 2, etc. The MULTIUP(2) would then work for
you.
2) Alternatively look at some of these print transformation tools (I've
used
CreateForm in the past, but there are plenty of others). In CreateForm
(for
example) you would map the complete line of your original document and
place
it on the "target" form twice, side by side. When you then send your
report
to the CreateForm output queue it would do all the transformation for you.
I'm sure the others all work in a similar way.
Hope it helps
All the best
Jonathan

Subject: Multiup printing
List:
We have a need to print the same document twice on the same
sheet of paper.
As strange as this sounds, we want to print an 8 1/2X11 report (custom
Mapics pick list) twice side-by-side on 11X17 paper. We try using the
MULTIUP (2) option on the OVRPRTF command in CL, but it seems to have
effect. We are running V5R1. Any ideas?
TIA,
