Sorry, coming late to this.

Not sure I follow the original question, but couldn't an array avoid 
the need for "do" or "value".

destination field name.

In each loop, do something like:

put <whatever text> into myArray[calculatedKeyName]

Then later:

put myArray[calculatedKeyname] into field calculatedKeyname
