Preset number of copies from outside a report.

FragenFrager

Hello,
One of our customers uses a terminal solution, i.e. special reports are printed when documents are processed on a terminal.
The reports can be printed interactively from BC as well as via the terminal. When printing via terminal, the reports are called from a codeunit. When printing via terminal, the reports should be printed twice.
Preferably I would implement the number of prints via CopyLoop.
Since the request page should remain closed when printing via terminal, I would have to specify the number of copies from outside. The following problem arises: If I declare the report as a variable in order to call the function to determine the number of copies on this variable, I cannot suppress the output on the standard printer.
If I work with REPORT.RUNMODAL(... I don't have the option of executing a function on the report beforehand, a somewhat tricky situation.
Does anyone here have an idea of ​​how to proceed?

You can create a singleinstance codeunit to set the No of copies, and with the running report you can retrive the quantity from the single instance codeunit

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I also took a singleinstance codeunit into consideration, but meanwhile I agreed with my teamleader to declare the report as variable an create a function within this report to set the number of copies.
