pull activity parameter

What is the equivalent of the "collected" parameter for a pull from list activity? I want to set a label equal to the number of items pulled from a list.

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.1

pull from list max wait timer

5 |100000

If you pull more than one item from a list then it stores it as an array. So you can use:

token.Pulled.length

EDIT

If you are using a max wait timer then you could pull nothing at all. To handle this then you could use the following code in your set labels activity:

if(token.Pulled? || token.Pulled? == NULL)
	return token.Pulled.length;
else
	return 0;

Or in one line:

token.Pulled? || token.Pulled? == NULL ? token.Pulled.length : 0

5 |100000
