Hold jobs until 100

I need to gather 100 pdf files in a folder before sending them trough a workflow.
The "Hold Job" element seems to me a good idea, but then I need a java script expression.
Anyone who has done this?
Regards
F

Try to assemble the job based on a number of arbitrary files:

@gabrielp With 3 pdf files, it did work, but now I've set the prefs to 100 and suddenly every pdf is going trough.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm getting for each file a mail notification instead of 1 for the whole package.

Man, those attachments are so small, it's hard to read. But I would say maybe you need to extend the orphan time out. Does it take a while for all 100 items to get to the assemble step? If so, estimate that time and set the orphan timeout to it.

@gabrielp Thanks for the reply! I can not guess how long it will take to have the 100 required pdf's. It can take days, even weeks. That's why I need this reliable counter so I do not need to check every day.
Let's say I set the orphan timeout on 5 days (7200) then each 7200 minutes, the monitored folder will be released? The orphan time will have priority on the scheme of every N jobs?
