Getting step results/pa​rameters on PostStepFa​ilure Engine Callback

Question

I'm trying to do some fault isolatio in my tests. I've enabled the PostStepFailure Engine Callback and I'm passing the step and result handles to a C function as CAObjHandles. My problem is that I can't find any of the step result/parameters like:
TS.StepName
TS.StepType
Comp
Measurement
Limits.Low
Limits.High
The callback works fine, but I need to access these variables in order to do the fault isolation. Can any one tell me how I can access these six variables?
I've tried to access these variables both in the sequence file and then passing the values to the C-function as well as in the C-function, but both methods yield errors

Hi Hurst,
The main problem here is going to be dealing with all the different step types.  Because Numeric Limit Test will pass different information to the parameters than a Pass/Fail Step.  You won't see any of the information there during development but if you put a breakpoint in your SequenceFilePostStepFailure callback then you will be able to look at the parameters in the Context tab.  You will see that if you fail a Numeric Limit Test you can get access to the limits by using Parameters.Step.Limits.Low/Parameters.Step.Limits.​High.  However, this wouldn't exist if you had a different step type. By looking at the Context tab when you put in a breakpoint you will be able to look for the other variables as well.
Hope this helps.
