Array Command Immediately Goes to Number of Rows
Command-line versions of commands when used in AutoLisp (command) functions sometimes operate a little differently than the way they do when you do them "raw." Array asks for things in a particular order, instead of offering a menu of options that you can choose to supply in any order. Just give it the row information first, and the rest in the order it wants. To find out what that order is, run it manually but using:
(command "_.array")
to start it, rather than typing in ARRAY or choosing the ribbon icon.

try this...
(defun c:test( / )
(command "_array" pause "" "R" pause pause pause pause)
)

to add to what other experts said, i assume col is an integer value? do not put it in "col"
I think their intent was to call for the COLumns option that is available when the command is run outside AutoLisp, in which case having it in quotation marks would be appropriate. Then their numOfPanels variable would be the integer value for that. But when inside an AutoLisp (command) function, you don't get to choose the order in which you give it values -- you don't even get option choices -- but must supply them in the order in which it asks for them. Nor do you get the ASsociative option at all, which they are trying to choose and answer "no" to.
This should do:
(command "_.array" selSet "" "_rectangular" 1 numOfPanels panelPitch)
Maybe preceding it with (initcommandversion) could be made to have it operate more like what they're intending, but I don't see any need if they don't want it Associative or to use any of the other fancy options -- plain columns in one row may as well be the basic command.
