I read this in the What's New just yesterday and got excited. I have one app
where I had to add code to print COPY 1 / COPY 2 etc on each copy of a report
being printed (had to print report one copy at a time). So I tried this
option, and it works great! Except in my particular case I would want it
printed on every copy, so the original would be Copy 1. Should I bother
requesting an enhancement that perhaps there's an option to "start on"?

Tip of the Day: Add a Copy Number to Report/Label Output
Product: R:BASE 11
Build: 11.0.2.20612 or higher
Section: Reports/Labels
Keywords: Copy, System Variable, Number, Description
Did you know that you can easily add a copy number to reports and labels?
The System Variable control includes the "Copy Number" and "Copy Number
Description" as additional options for report and label output.
. Copy Number - current copy number (when printing multiple copies to the
printer)
. Copy Number Description - textual summary of the current copy number ("Copy
1")
The "Copy" system variable values text will not print with the original
document. The control will print with the first and subsequent copies of the
report or label.
The System Variable control offers various options for displaying system
information on a report, making the output more informative and customized.
To add the control in the Report/Label Designer, click on the System Variable
control on the Variable Controls, and click on the canvas to add the object.
Then, review the following drop-down options available in the Edit toolbar.

- Date/Time
- Document Name
