1195.0. "Can't limit Number of Copies when printing" by COMICS::BARHAM (Norbert:) Thu Aug 06 1992 13:07

ALL-IN-1 3.0

When printing, you can specify the Number of Copies to print on form WPPARG.
In theory, you should be able to limit the number of copies a user can enter by
modifying form SMPRINTERTYPES via SM MFP MPR PT Edit.
I believe you should change the Additional Printer Options Field to 'A' and on
the Next Screen you should set Copies: Changeable: to 'Y' and change the 
Maximum Value to whatever restriction you require. This updates the field
PT_COPIES_MAXIMUM but it does not seem to have any effect on what the user can
enter in the Number of Copies field on form WPPARG. As far as I can tell
there is no checking against PT_COPIES_MAXIMUM so the number of copies cannot
be restricted.

Am I missing something ?

Thanks

1195.1It's a bugIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4AThu Aug 06 1992 13:2911
You have found a bug.  The field processing on the WPPARG form should have
been checking against the maximum for the print style.  Checks against the
print style Copies changeable field are performed correctly so you can 
stop the user changing the field but you cannot set a maximum value.

The Copies information is not affected by the Additional Printer Options 
field because it is an option which is available for all type of printers.
