I'm trying to pass parameter to a subcircuit. This works:

.subckt AAA 1 2 PARAMS: v=1 f=440
V1 1 3 DC 0 AC 9 0 SIN(0 {v} {f} 0 0 0)
R1 3 2 100
.ends
X1 1 0 AAA v=10 f=100

But when I also want to parametrize the "9" after the AC, it shows error:

.subckt AAA 1 2 PARAMS: v=1 f=440
V1 1 3 DC 0 AC {v} 0 SIN(0 {v} {f} 0 0 0)
R1 3 2 100
.ends
X1 1 0 AAA v=10 f=100

The error is:

Error on line 0 :
  v.x1.v1 1 x1.3 dc 0 ac ( 1 0 )    1.000000000000000e+01     0 sin(0    1.000000000000000e+01        1.000000000000000e+02     0 0 0)
no such parameter on this device
    Simulation interrupted due to error!

Entire example is:

* first line is ignored

.subckt AAA 1 2 PARAMS: v=1 f=440
V1 1 3 DC 0 AC {v} 0 SIN(0 {v} {f} 0 0 0)
R1 3 2 100
.ends

X1 1 0 AAA v=10 f=100
R1 1 0 1k

    This has been solved in ngspice-37. Please consider to update ngspice.
