Run Cleanup on failure programatically

Question

Hi guys,
Under TestStand 2.0.1f1, go to Configure->Station Options, and look at the On Run-Time error menu ring. It contains 4 items as follows :
Show Dialog (0)
Run Cleanup (1)
Ignore (2)
Abort (3)
(I'll explain the numbers here in a minute)
If you then look at the Engine property RTEOption, you have the following
RTEOption_Abort - (Value: 3)
RTEOption_Continue - (Value: 1)
RTEOption_Ignore - (Value: 2)
RTEOption_Retry - (Value: 4)
RTEOption_ShowDialog - (Value: 0)
If I create an action step that uses the above RTEOption, run it, and then look at the Station Options again, I see the marked (the number next to the item done earlier) in the Menu Ring.
The problem is, the two don't match up, i.e. if I set a 1, whic
h is continue, I see Run Cleanup, and depending on the previous setting, I can get the dialog to show, or contiinue straight on.
So what are the additional things that need setting along with RTEOption that give you a true RunCleanup?
I know the best architecture is to use the callbacks for either SequenceFilePostStepRunTimeError or ProcessModelPostStepRunTimeError, but then you need a way of forcing the enxt step to enter the cleanup step group, and if the Station Option hasn't been set correctly, it'd be nice to force it.
Thanks

and I was trying to force the Run Cleanup option.)

Thanks,
that sort of works, but it still doesn't explain the mis-type in the enum texts.
To get the cleanup run as I want it, I have to set the RTEOptionForThisExecution to RTEOption_Continue. There simply isn't a RTEOption_cleanup.
Also, shouldn't I be able to modify the station options on the fly - it's the next step that should pick up the changes, as they're to the engine itself - for example, set an execution going, and play around with the tracing speed.
Finally, I've verified your answer, by after the first run, useing the engine object to modify the RTEOption, on a subsequent runs , I see the behaviour I want. Strange then. So you couldn't modify the engine permanently unless it's outside a sequence execution, that's not going to rely on it.
OK, s
trange, but OK.
Can you clear up which enum's are supposed to do what then, as RTEOption_Continue, actually runs cleanup.
Thanks
