sftp status error/status code

Is there a way to receive "sftp status codes" as part of the sftp command 
response message on stdout, when an sftp command is issued on stdin.    

For instance: Issuing the "get" command interactively to an ftp server, I 
receive the following response on stdout:

550 filename: No such file or directory.

The same command sent to an OpenSSH sftp server receives the following response:

Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory. File "/local/abbb/foo" 
not found.

I need to programmatically extract the status code off the stdout output.  
However, I haven't found a way to get the "status code" in stdout.

Does anyone know of a way to get the "sftp status codes" sent to stdout, like 
ftp servers do?

I have tried Verbose and Debug options.
