How can we use Parent Account ID in the CRM API Search Calls?

When I use the ParentAccountID in the selectColumns without the Parent Account, I do not get the value in the ParentAccountID returned. When I try to use ParentAccountID in the getSearchRecords as the searchCondition, as in searchCondition=(parentaccountid|=|73847000000442531), I get an error stating Invalid Parameter.

The call works if I use another non-PDC with a proper value.

Can someone please explain how to use the ParentAccountID in the API Search calls?

Example: https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/xml/Accounts/getSearchRecords?authtoken= token&scope=crmapi&newFormat=1&selectColumns=accounts(accountID,account name,parentaccountid,parent%20account)&searchCondition=(parentaccountid|=|73847000000442531)

I get: <response uri="/crm/private/xml/Accounts/getSearchRecords" >

 
   <error>
  
    <code>4832</code>
   
    <message>Invalid parameter value</message>
   
   </error>

  </response>
