[gradsusr] converting variable to string

[Jeff Duda]

You don't need to do it that way.  Defining a script variable (within a
Grads script) is as simple as

var = value (no quotes)

So, for you, it would be
par = 10
'print filename_value'par'.eps'

where the extra single quotes remove the string "par" from the Grads
command and replace it with its script variable value.
