<x>        The (multiply) <x> tag allows you to set a Copies number for your output. If this option is set before a <PRINTER> tag, then the corresponding dialog-box will show the specified number of copies.

Example :

<x3> will print three copies of the current report. The tag <COPIES> should be used in place of the <X> tag

 

<COPIES>

The <COPIES> tag sets a Copies number for the report. If this option is set before a <PRINTER> tag, then the corresponding dialog-box will display the number of copies that you have set.  

 

Syntax: <COPIES= numberOfCopies                   [ ,ALWAYS ] >

The keyword ALWAYS overrides any user action on the number of copies from the print dialog box.  

 

Example : <COPIES=3> will print three copies of the current report.        

 

Note : vpxPrint prints the number of copies iterating from 1 to the specified number of copies, resulting in a processor overhead. Depending on your printer capabilities, you may prefer to use the driver capability instead of the vpxPrint loop.

You may specify PRINTERCOPIES to use the driver mode.
