RE: printing multiple copies without CL

If you don't need to be dynamic in selecting the number of copies, there's a
"Copies" parameter in the CRTPRTF command.  You can set the number of copies
to print there.  Drawback is that it will always print that many copies.

If you need to be dynamic, you can code a call to QCMDEXC to run OVRPRTF and
change the "Copies" parameter.  Run the command before opening the printer
file in the RPG program.  Don't let RPG open the printer file automatically.

Subject: printing multiple copies without CL

Is there any way that my RPG program prints N copies of the generated
report, without having to resort to CL to modify the spool job?

Been going through the documentation, but no luck so far...

Thanks for any clues. It's not vital, but would be nice.
