SET A Block Ref with a know Name instead of Ppicking it

SET A Block Ref with a know Name instead of Ppicking it

SET A Block Ref with a know Name instead of Ppicking it

(OP)
I have a drawing with a know Block inserted in it with atttributes.  THe block name is A2E and it is inserted on a layout.

I want to change an attribute in the block

I can't set the acadblockref
The problem is that every example shows to set the acadblock ref by inserting the block of using the getentity, in which case the user has to pick the block.

I don't want the user to pick the block.

set objblockref = Thisdrawing.paperspace."A2E"

How do I do this
