Some qualifiers can appear more than once in a command. These are called positional qualifiers. They qualify (or modify) the command element to which they are immediately adjacent.

An example of this is the /COPIES qualifier of the PRINT command. When applied to the PRINT command, it is global to all the files in the print job. When applied to single file specifications in a PRINT job, it modifies only those files which match that file specification.
