You shouldn't use numbers and constants as names for fields. One and 1 are identical and field "one" as well as field "1" may be interpreted as the first field rather than the field with name "one" or "1".

Instead always start control names with a letter or a symbol that isn't a number. For example, you could start all names with n and write a loop like

repeat with x = 1 to 10
  set the numberformat to "00"
  put fld ("n" & x*1) into myValue
  -- do something with myValue here
end repeat

I have, due to the government's wisdom, checkboxes I have to use to display
numeric values.  I've created my own to make them the right size, and to
function as parts of groups.

But looping through, with the fields in these things named for the possible
values (usually text), I have to refer to them.

So I have value of  (0,1,2) for one of these


I need to loop through these values to set the field with the corresponding
name.

Having a value of zero in vl, how do can I refer to the field named "0" in
group tgGrp?

When this isn't a calculated value, I do it by name (zero, one, etc.), but
that isn't an option sometimes.
