Actually that will be dependent on your shop's standards. So you need to talk to the people that support the operating system to see if you can us COPIES= in your JCL. If you read the JCL Manual, you will find that there are many parameters available. The OUTPUT statement is also good for handling SYSOUT.
z/OS or MVS will not prevent you from using any valid JCL parameter. There are exit points in the operating system and JES where a system programmer could remove the use of a specific parameter. There are no procedures or rules from an JES perspective to prevent you from using valid JCL statements. The only issue is whether or not your shop allows it. Downsides, if you code COPIES=200 and only meant 20 and used up your companies very expensive paper. That would be bad. However, if you are careful, you may be able to use it without harm. I would just asked your system programmers if it is allowed. If this is a proc that is specific to your shop and it has a hardcoded COPIES=2 then I would request the proc owner to change it to a symbolic. The default could be 2 but then you would be able to execute the proc with a large number than 2. Again check with your shop as to what is okay for COPIES. And you can also use a JCL Over ride to change the hard coded parameter from 2 to something else. - Read your JCL manuals specific for your JES environment.
