Many thanks Rudi & bakunin. Got it working as follows:
Code:
table_name=table1,table2,table3
col_name=col1,col2,col3

OI="$IFS"
IFS=,
table_arr=($table_name)
col_arr=($col_name)
IFS="$OI"

counter=0

while [ $counter -lt ${#table_arr[@]} ] ; do
     echo "TABLE: ${table_arr[$counter]}     COL: ${col_arr[$counter]}"
     (( counter += 1 ))
done
