This is my second post in this forum. I have a requirement to make sure both front and back pages to be printed in same direction. Right now with below syntax my back page is printed in opposite direction. Please advise if i need change anything in my current syntax.

Code:
//PPFA     EXEC PGM=AKQPPFA                           
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*                             
//FORMLIB  DD   DSN=XXX.FDEFLIB,DISP=SHR     
//PAGELIB  DD   DSN=XXX.PDEFLIB,DISP=SHR     
//SYSIN    DD   *                                     
FORMDEF XXXX
  DUPLEX NORMAL                     
  REPLACE YES                       
  PRESENT PORTRAIT                 
  DIRECTION DOWN;                   
  OFFSET 0 0  ;     
OVERLAY XXXX;                     
SUBGROUP BOTH COPIES1 ;             
PAGEDEF XXXX                     
    REPLACE YES;                   
FONT GT12;                         
PAGEFORMAT P2XXXX               
    DIRECTION DOWN                 
    WIDTH 8.5 IN HEIGHT 11 IN;     
SETUNITS LINESP 6 LPI;             
PRINTLINE REPEAT 53 CHANNEL 1       
          FONT GT12             
          POSITION 0.00 1.90;

Tried with following Syntax. Now my second page prints in correct direction but the header alone prints in opposite direction.

Code:
//SYSIN    DD   *                                           
 FORMDEF LHHDLD                                             
   DUPLEX NORMAL                                           
   REPLACE YES                                             
   PRESENT PORTRAIT                                         
   OFFSET 0 0;                                             
 OVERLAY LHHDLD;                                           
 SUBGROUP BOTH COPIES 1 OVERLAY LHHDLD;                     
 PAGEDEF LHHDLD WIDTH 8.5 IN HEIGHT 11 IN                   
     REPLACE YES;                                           
 FONT GT12;                                                 
 SETUNITS LINESP 6 LPI;                                     
 PAGEFORMAT P2FRONT DIRECTION DOWN ;
