Controls how many copies of a report page Equinox will print if set in the 'At start of task' method event. It will override the setting in the Report Properties Overall tab within Report Design. SYSCOPIES is set to zero when reports are first loaded, before any processing is done therefore you cannot set SYSCOPIES outside of the report.

SysCopies can also be used to control how many copies of the Main Block Equinox will print by setting the value at the 'Test record' event. This will override the setting in the Report Properties Block tab within Report Design.

If you want to run, for example, a dialog that prompts for the number of copies to print, then the correct way is to place the number of copies in a local workarea, then in the report AT START OF TASK, copy this workarea into SYSCOPIES.
