How to use set_param -function with step block in simulink?

Hello,
I´ve been using set_param -function with my simulations during the last days. However, now I can´t somehow use it with my step-function in order to set a new "final value" for the step-block between several simulations. Below you can see how I´ve defined the settings for the step-function:

As you can see, the Step-function is named as "Ref" and the parameter, that I would like to change between several simulations is named "reference".
Below you can see the top view of my simulink model:

In my matlab script I try to change the "reference" value inside the step-function as follows:

When the software comes to the "set_param" point, I get this error message:
Step block does not have a parameter named 'reference'
The set_param -function has worked several times for me, but now there´s a problem with step-function. What is wrong in my simulations?
Thank you for any kind of help!

Why do you think Reference is a parameter in a step bock. Like you see the parameters are
- Step time
- Initial value
- Final value
- Sample time
- ...
Even with those parameters you can't use set_param, to get the appropriate names of those parameters you can use
get_param('filename/Ref','dialogparameters')
ans =
Time: [1x1 struct]
Before: [1x1 struct]
After: [1x1 struct]
SampleTime: [1x1 struct]
VectorParams1D: [1x1 struct]
ZeroCross: [1x1 struct]
For your case
set_param('filname/Ref','after', num2str(step_value))

If you are looking to set stop time then you may use:
tfin = 10;
model = 'model1';
open_system(model);
set_param(model,'StopTime', num2str(tfin));
Moreover, if you ever want to know the parameters associated with any block you may use:
get_param([model '/Gain1'],'dialogparameters')
The above line would provide all the parameters of the gain block named 'Gain1' in the simulink model named 'model'
