FTP retry

[kodakdave]

I am doing a FTP get, parsing LASTSTEP_OUTPUT looking for 0 file(s) transferred (case where file I want is not there yet, but I know it is coming.) Using script code I am setting Step.BuildStatus to vbldStepStatFailed, hoping to trigger the Retry logic on the More tab. But it just fails without invoking the retries. Is there a way to do what I am trying?
