Hi Srini,
in standard invoice print program (Report RVADIN01) following routine can be found:
*       FORM CHECK_REPEAT
*       A text is printed, if it is a repeat print for the document.  *
FORM check_repeat.
  CLEAR repeat.
  CLEAR anzal.
  SELECT * INTO *nast FROM nast WHERE kappl = nast-kappl
                                AND   objky = nast-objky
                                AND   kschl = nast-kschl
                                AND   spras = nast-spras
                                AND   parnr = nast-parnr
                                AND   parvw = nast-parvw
                                AND   nacha BETWEEN '1' AND '4'.
    IF *nast-vstat = '1'.
      anzal = anzal + *nast-anzal.
      repeat = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
  ENDSELECT.
ENDFORM.                    "CHECK_REPEAT
Variable <i>repeat</i> can be used to add an additional text like 'COPY' or to exit print program without printing   second version.
I guess, this select is not fool proofed - users still might find a way to print twice without your notice, but it's a start. You should have a look at <i>anzahl[/i), too - this variable steers the number of copies and should be set to 1 in your requirement.
