One way:

## Get data grid array
put the dgData of group "DataGrid 2" into theDataA

## loop through multi-dimensional array and extract Workspace key
repeat with i = 1 to item 2 of line 1 of the extents of theDataA
     put theDataA[ i ]["Workspace"] & comma after theList
end repeat
delete the last char of theList
