Is there a programmatic way to set options -> Playback -> General -> Catch Exceptions when Thrown?

Is there a programmatic way to set options -> Playback -> General -> Catch Exceptions when Thrown?

In very specific .net scripts I need to handle exceptions within the script.

I would like to do something like:

Dim Save_Exception_Option as string

Save_Exception_Option = Option.Playback.Exceptions

Option.Playback.Exceptions = 'No'

'Body of code

Option.Playback.Exceptions = Save_Exception_Option
