Duplicating a section

I'm using CR XI.

I have a report that I want to have duplicated X (X being a parameter) times. Is this possible?

Please be more specific. The entire report duplicated? Why?

Yes the entire report. The report is simple. It shows the job and item number, their names, and other generic information. The report is printed on a normal 8.5 x 11 piece of paper and only takes up about an inch. It gets cut out to be put on a folder for that job and item. To get 10 print outs, it needs to be printed 8 different times which wastes paper. I'm hoping there is a way to duplicate the detail section X times so it can be printed multiple times on one sheet of paper and not waste it.

I don't think this is possible but I thought I'd ask other users anyway.
 
Again, duplicating the detail section x times is not the same as duplicating the report X time. There is an faq on how to do this:
faq767-3227.

If the maximum number of rows wasn't too group, you could alternatively add the same fields to separate detail sections_a to _z or whatever and then suppress the unused ones with formulas,e.g.:

//for detail_d:
{?Parm} < 4
