TimeInForce Issue

I am having trouble during auto trading. I am unable to set the TimeInForce to good-till-canceled. All orders are created as day orders:

// Create an s_SCNewOrder object.
    s_SCNewOrder NewOrder;
    NewOrder.OrderQuantity = Contracts.GetInt();
    NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_MARKET;
    NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GTC;
    //Specify a Stop and target
    NewOrder.Stop1Offset = LongStop;
    NewOrder.Target1Offset = TargetOffset.GetInt()*sc.TickSize;

I am using IB as brokers and the IB presets are set to GTC. I am not getting any error messages from IB so I don't think it is a problem on the brokers side. Are there any settings in SC that could cause orders to default to day orders?

Is the problem that the Attached Orders are day orders?

Yes, the attached orders are day orders.
This happens both using simulated and non-simulated trading modes.
