Initial Condition of Inductor in OrCad

I'm trying to run a parametric sweep on for the initial current of an inductor but I keep getting errors. I made IC a global parameter and when I run a parametric sweep under transient analysis everything goes horribly wrong. How do I get this to work?
Here is what it keeps saying:

*Analysis directives:
.TRAN 0 7.5s 0 .005ms
.STEP PARAM {IC} LIST -35.162mA -17.561mA 0
------------$
ERROR(ORPSIM-16060): Invalid global param name
.PROBE V(alias(*)) I(alias(*)) W(alias(*)) D(alias(*)) NOISE(alias(*))
.INC "..\SCHEMATIC1.net"



**** INCLUDING SCHEMATIC1.net ****
* source BLAB
V_V1 N00110 0
+SIN {Vdc} {Vac} 5k 0 0 0
R_R1 N00110 N00123 200
L_L1 N00123 0 35mH IC={IC}
.PARAM vac=20 ic=0 vdc=0

**** RESUMING blab.cir ****
.END
 
This is a wild guess. Looks like you have a case issue. You described the parameters as Vdc and Vac ( notice the uppercase "V" ) then in your .PARAM, you wrote vac and vce ( notice the lower case "v" ) Also, "IC" and "ic". Been a long time since I used pspice, so I might be all wet.
