I suppose I'd ask why you'd need to?

If you want to use a different destination variable each time through 
the loop, if you don't care to keep it, doesn't this give you a nice 
squeaky clean new variable each time through:

repeat with idx = 1 to blah
   -- create a new tVar
   local tVar
   put "test"&1 into fldName
   put fld fldName into tVar

   -- use tVar somehow
end repeat

if you do care to keep it, put it into an array:

repeat with idx = 1 to blah
   put "test"&1 into fldName
   put fld fldName into tVar[idx]

   -- use tVar[idx] somehow
end repeat

Wouldn't that do it for you?
