NbCopy (Property)

In french: NbCopie

..NbCopy is used to find out and modify the number of report copies that must be printed.

If a number of copies is specified by the user (iParameter or iParameterReport) before printing the report, this number of copies will have priority over the one specified by ..NbCopy.

Code used to print the report.

iPrintReport(RPT_MyReport, 3)
Opening code of report.

PROCEDURE RPT_MyReport(nNbCopies)
RPT_MyReport..NbCopy = nNbCopies

Limits

..NbCopy only applies to the reports (and not to the controls or blocks found in a report).
This property is taken into account when the print is performed on a printer.
