No nice way.
You could do it with extra pass(es):
Put what was your final output away in a subfile, together with some line/page
number details. Record your final page numbers (the ones that don't want
"continues..."), and then do your output, using a defined item for the
"continues...".

This could be an enhancement request, I suppose: something like "CONTINUATION
UNTIL <control-break>".

Another approach entirely is the reset page clause on the "sort[ed] at"
statement, which would enable you to number each statement starting from 1;
and/or putting a "[THIS IS THE END]" footing, instead of a continuation page
footing.

The only way would be to write the statement on the fly:

def copies int*2 = parm
set rep dev disc name howmany pag len 0 spac 1 nohead
rep tab 1 "set report device printer copies" copies
go
exec your-report nogo
use howmany.txt
go

Or do something similar with a shell script, if you prefer.
