I suppose you create index in the application in run time. Something like:
_variable="hello"
index on field_name+_variable tag hello

If it is the case, then you have two choices.
- Remove index when closing application, or
- Create indexes other way:
lccom="index on field_name+'"+_variable+"' tag hello"
&lccom

Good luck
