AutoCAD Variable rejected CELWEIGHT

[tzframpton]

My code that I've had for a while (I wrote some of it, then someone else helped modify it on this forum years ago):

(defun c:tst(/ varLst varVal *error*)
 
 
; **** ERROR HANDLER **** restore your variables in case of error or Esc
 (defun *error*(msg)
; restore your variables at once
   (mapcar 'setvar varLst varVal)
; print error message in command line
   (princ msg)
; silent exit
   (princ)
   ); end of *error*

 
 ; **** MAIN CODE ****
 ; store variables list
 (setq varLst(list "CLAYER" "CELTYPE" "CECOLOR" [color="red"]"CELWEIGHT"[/color])
 ; get all variables at once
       varVal(mapcar 'getvar varLst)
); end setq
 ; set new variables values at once
 (mapcar 'setvar varLst (list "M-HVAC-TSTAT" "DASHDOT2" "3" [color="red"]"20"[/color]))
 ; invoke _spline command
 (command "_.spline")
 ; while command is active do pause for user input
 (while(= 1(getvar "CMDACTIVE"))
   (command pause)
  ); end while
 ; restore your variables at once
 (mapcar 'setvar varLst varVal)
 ; silent exit
 (princ)
 ); end of c:tst

The code has always worked. I wanted to add a quick change to also include changing the object lineweight. The items I highlighted in Red is the only thing I added, then I receive this error:

Command: TST AutoCAD variable setting rejected: "CELWEIGHT" "20"

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hint:

_$ (type (getvar 'celweight))
INT

Thanks for replying. What is INT? Is it returning as an Integer? Do I not have the right format? Sorry if this is a dumb question, just trying to follow.

Lee, are you saying the quotes should be left off because celweight is an integer? So 20 instead of "20" ?

Tannar, I think rkent is on target there, lose the quotes and give it a try, what's to lose?

That worked!! Thanks for the tips gentlemen. Everything is working as expected.

A quirky example set color "RED" is valid so is 1 in some situations.
