Scripting what should be a simple loop...

[Bob Sneidar]

You need a do statement. Otherwise you would need Macro Substitution which Runrev does not support. 

put "put fld" && quote & "Field" & i & quote && "of group" & quote & AllFields & quote && "into tvar" & i into theCommand
do theCommand -- careful of line wraps

Easier to read is:
put "put fld fieldi of group allfields into tvari" into theCommand
replace "fieldi" with quote & "field" & i & quote in theCommand
replace "allfields" with quote & "allfields" & quote in theCommand
replace "tvari" with quote & "tVar" & i & quote in theCommand
do theCommand -- remembering to check Bob for mistakes in his code
