COPIES Command
After you set the current batch, Peruse identifies jobs in this batch in subsequent
displays with a B to the left of the job numbers. In the example above, jobs 1167 and
1289 are in the current batch (555).
COPIES Command
The COPIES command alters the number of copies for the current job. If there is no
current job, then the job most recently spooled job becomes the current job.
number-of-copies
is the number of copies of the current job to be printed. The value is a number from
1 through 32767. The default is 1.
Considerations

When a job is added to the spooler subsystem, the number of copies is 1.

For each copy you request, a separate header page also prints (if that printer has
the header bit turned on).

If a batch job is current, the COPIES command operates on all jobs that are part of
the current batch job.

The COPIES command is not supported if the current job is a spooler job file.
Example
The following example illustrates how you can obtain two printed copies of a spooled
job. The JOB command displays the status of the job, the COPIES command specifies
two copies, and the JOB command checks the status of the job again:
