Copy groups are subsets of a form definition. A form definition can contain one or several copy groups. Copy groups are nested within a form definition following any SUPPRESSION command. COPYGROUP subcommands have no fixed defaults; if any subcommand is omitted, its value is selected from the corresponding subcommand in the FORMDEF command.

COPYGROUPname
Defines an alphanumeric name of 1–8 characters. This name must be unique in a single form definition. If any names are duplicated, PPFA issues an error message and does not create the form definition.
    Note:
  1. Subsets of copy groups are called subgroups.
  2. If you specified DUPLEX NO anywhere in the copy group, output is simplex regardless of any other DUPLEX subcommand within the same copy group.
  3. If a form definition has only one copy group, the COPYGROUP command can be omitted. If omitted, a name is automatically assigned by PPFA to the copy group, using the form definition resource name, including the F1 prefix. All values for the copy group are given the values from the FORMDEF command and subcommands. You need to know this name should you use conditional processing and need to invoke this copy group by name. Copy groups are placed within the form definition in the order in which they are generated.
  4. To change copy groups during formatting, use conditional processing.
  5. Another way to change copy groups after the resource is stored is to insert an Invoke Medium Map structured field into your print data file (copy groups are known to the print server as medium maps). If no Invoke Medium Map structured field is found and no conditional processing is being performed, the first copy group in the form definition is used for the job.
