You may use virtual table Field to check which field numbers exist in a table, as well as their data types and other properties.

You may also reference fields using RecRef.FIELDINDEX(i), where i is between 1 and RecRef.FIELDCOUNT. By this you do not need to guess field numbers if you do not know them.

I would also advise to look at Codeunits 423 Change Log Management and 8617 Config. Validate Management 8617 Config. Validate Management for advanced examples and scenarios of working with RecordRefs and FieldRefs.
