Since you are returning a value from the RETURN statement, you need use a command object to execute, then check command.parameter(0).Value such as:

loConn = CREATEOBJECT('ADODB.Connection')
loConn.ConnectionString = GetConnString()
loCmd  = CREATEOBJECT('ADODB.Command')
loCmd.ActiveConnection = loConn
loCmd.CommandText = 'sp_test'
loCmd.Execute()

lvRetVal = loCmd.Parameters(0).Value

Hope this helps,
