Using gettokens with Batch activity

Hi !
I am trying to check how many tokens are waiting inside a batch activity.

I tried the following

treenode batchActivity = getactivity(processFlow, "Batch");
Array tokensInBatch = gettokens(processFlow, batchActivity);
print("[Decide] Waiting for Batch:"+ numtostring(tokensInBatch.length));

But I only get 0. I tried this method for counting the tokens in a Breath activity and it worked, so I guess the Batch activity is a bit different due to the tokens being batched.

Yet is there a way to get all the tokens waiting to be batched with code ?

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.3

tokens batch

5 |100000

Sebastien,

the exact code you were using above works for me, assuming that your variable processFlow is a valid reference to the process flow holding the batch activity you are looking into. Used 20.2.3 as well:

Sure there is not anything else wrong?

I can't believe I had forgotten about another Batch activity I had in the model. So the value was taken from it and not from the new one.

The code is working.

Thank you @Ralf Gruber for your help.
