Script for Required fields acting strange on extra spaces at end of Name/Description

Question

Found this script on this forum, which I added to my submit button.
var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
     if (f.type!="button" && f.required ) {
          if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);
if (emptyFields.length>0) {
     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));
Great script but the ERROR! popup was not coming up until I went into InDesign and removed extra spaces after "(g)" Description and Names.
I am new at this, can someone let me know of any rules for naming these fields such as using underscores, or any other illegal chacters.

Jeff,
The SQL in the script file is below.  To be honest, I have reduced it down to a simple select from dual and it still puts extra spaces at the end of the single line.
col ord noprint
spool test.csv
SELECT  ' ' ord,
  'ZONE_ORDER_NUMBER'||','||
  'ZONE_NAME'||','||
  'ZONE_TYPE'||','||
  'DESCRIPTION'||','||
  'START_DATE'||','||
  'END_DATE'
FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT zone_name ord,
  '"'||zone_order_number||'"'||','||
  '"'||zone_name||'"'||','||
  '"'||zone_type||'"'||','||
  '"'||description||'"'||','||
  '"'||TO_CHAR(start_date,'DD-MON-YY')||'"'||','||
  '"'||TO_CHAR(end_date,'DD-MON-YY')||'"'
FROM zones
ORDER BY ord;
spool off
