Get Parameter from with TCL Script

I'm trying to get a parameter from a verilog block from with a TCL script we setup as a post flow script. It seems like get_parameter should be the correct call, but I have tried various combination's of the -entity, -name, and -to but the result always is NULL. Quartus help was not overly helpful. Here's one example I have tried:

set my_param [get_parameter -name "paramA" -to SubBlock.v]

post_message "Parameter is ($my_param )"

Output: Parameter is ()

Top level is a schematic which instantiates the SubBlock symbol and sets the numerical my_param (to 8 in this case) via properties for the SubBlock.

Project: MyProj.qpf

Revision: MyProj

Top: MyTop.bdf

Verilog: SubBlock.v & SubBlock.bsf

Parameter within Verilog: paramA = 16

Anybody have an example of pulling out a parameter from a verilog sub-block or specific example for this scenario?

Thanks
