It may not be what you want, but I think this would be better:

repeat with n=1 to 64
   put fld n into tArray[the short name of field n]
end repeat

This will give array keys that match the field names.

However, if you ever change the layers of the 
fields, you'll have trouble, so how about this:

repeat for each char k in "ABCDEFGH"
   repeat for each char i in "12345678"
     put field (k & i) into tArray[k & i]
   end repeat
end repeat
