I tried both using collect and accumulate and they both worked as you suggested.

     ArrayList( $total : size>0 ) from collect ( Asset())
  
   Number ($total:intValue ) from accumulate ($asset:Asset() ,count($asset)) 

Thanks,

Ram

The first operand of collect is a pattern, not a bound variable. Therefore, use

    ArrayList($total:size >0)  from collect ( Asset() )

Just for counting, accumulate would also be possible:

   Number( $total: intValue ) from accumulate( Assert(), count(1) )
