    Append RESULT,string$(I>1,",") + '"' + [G:XXX]adxfname(I) + '"'
  Next I
  Append RESULT,' ],'
  Append RESULT,' "index_number" : ' + num$([G:XXX]nbind) + ','

    Append RESULT, string$(I>1,",")+ '{'
    Append RESULT, '"name":"' + [G:XXX]keyname(I-1) + '",'
    Append RESULT, '"length":' + num$([G:XXX]keylen(I-1)) + ','
