    Open Live Script

    Load the model slexModelUsingReusableSS containing referenced subsystems.

    load_system("slexModelUsingReusableSS");

    Get the block handle for which you want to find the parent Subsystem Reference block.

    blk = 'slexModelUsingReusableSS/Double Input/Amplify Signal';
open_system(blk);

    Get the path of the nearest parent Subsystem Reference block of blk.

    Simulink.SubsystemReference.getNearestParentSubsystemReferenceBlock(blk)
    ans = 
'slexModelUsingReusableSS/Double Input'

    Input Arguments
