How can I test a Declined transaction on the sandbox when the documented amounts don't work?

I am using the card numbers and test amounts listed on the developer site: https://developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/payflow/payflow-pro/payflow-pro-testing/ 

 

If I try a post-dated expiration on the card I get the appropriate "invalid date", so I know the service is processing my information.

I have tried 1012, 2012, 9012, and 10012 which all should return declined based on the documentation, but I get status 0 approved everytime.

I have tried both a sale and an authorize transaciton with the same results.

I confirm that I am sending to pilot-payflowpro.paypal.com and that the response has the last 4 digits of the card I sent, the amount I sent, and an authorization code.

How can I get a declined result?
