Printing more than one copy

Examples:

In this example, the COPIES parameter is specified in the DD statement. Fourteen copies of the data set are to be printed in page number sequence.
```
//AFPUSERA JOB ...
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=USERA
//PRINT DD SYSOUT=A,COPIES=14
   /*
```
The data set is sent to the printer 14 times. If the data set contains three pages, the output is like the example in Figure 43.

This example uses a user-created form definition, named F1UCOPY2, that specifies two copies of each page. These two copies can be defined in the form definition with different overlays, suppressions, or flash options.
```
//AFPUSERB JOB ...
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=USERB
//OUT1  OUTPUT FORMDEF=UCOPY2
//DD1 DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUT1)
   /*
```
The data set is transmitted one time and will contain two copies of each page.
This example uses both the COPIES parameter and the user form definition named F1UCOPY2.
```
//AFPUSERC JOB ...
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=USERC
//OUT1  OUTPUT FORMDEF=UCOPY2
//DD1 DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUT1),COPIES=3
   /*
```
The data set is transmitted three times, as specified in the COPIES parameter. Each of those transmissions contains two copies of each page, as specified in the form definition.
In this example, the COPIES parameter is specified in the OUTPUT statement. Three copy groups are to be printed, producing a total of six copies of the data set. The group values are set so that the first group contains one copy of each page, the second contains three copies, and the third contains two copies.
```
//AFPUSERD JOB ...
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=USERD
//OUT2 OUTPUT COPIES=(,(1,3,2))
//DD2 DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.OUT2)
```
The data set is sent to the printer three times, once for each group value. If the data set contains three pages, the output is like that in Figure 44. Notice that in the second and third copy groups, all the copies of a given page are printed before the next page is printed.

In this example, you use multiple OUTPUT statements in the JCL to print multiple copies of a data set, each with different AFP formatting.
```
//AFPUSERE JOB ...
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=USERE
//OUT1  OUTPUT PAGEDEF=USER1,FORMDEF=USER1
//OUT2  OUTPUT PAGEDEF=USER2
//DD1 DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUT1,*.OUT2)
   /*
```
The job will first print the data set according to the page definition and form definition specified in the OUT1 OUTPUT statement. Then the job will print the data set again, this time using the page definition specified in the OUT2 OUTPUT statement. Because this statement does not specify a form definition, the default form definition is used.
