I think the problem is in field_name setting. In publicly distributed version if field_name had trailing spaces it'd not work. It's addressed and fixed AFAIK. For now you could do it like :

aMapFields(nCnt,1) = trim(CM_fields_rrvw.field_name)

PS: If CM_Fields_rrvw has the above structure you could directly create from it. "create myTable from CM_Fields_rrvw"
