Content variable not giving the number of items

Hi,

I am using content(current) in a queue to retrieve the number of flowitems in a queue in On Message trigger, but for some reason, it always returns 0. So, I tried using a label variable to increment and decrement as the flowitems enters and exits to get the current content of the queue, but it still returns 0 on On Message trigger. However it returns the right value if I use it in any other trigger like entry/exit. I do have finite number of messages sent to the queue

Am i missing something here? Please help

cheers

It would be easier to explain what is wrong if you would attach the model.

Hi Bobo,

Here is the attached model. If you look at On-Message trigger of Queue10 or Queue 1(in this case), it has a print statement for current(content). Hopefully this will elaborate my question better.

Thanks in advance!

Your timing is such that things are getting through the Scanner before the Queues have content. The queue says its content is 0 because its content is 0. Your timing is messed up.

Thanks Phil, it works now if I make the scan slower.
