SRP_Com() with SRP Editor v2.9.1
Using SRP_Com(), I was having trouble getting the ShareName property of a Drive object. This should be a string value but I was getting a number, as if an SRP_Com() object is being returned. The ERROR service wasn't returning any error.
Here's a simplified version of the code:
Through some rigorous trial and error, it appears that it only behaves this way if I have or had the SRP Editor open in the session at some time - !?. Without having opened SRP Editor first, this code would return a UNC path, as expected.
This is with SRP Editor v2.9.1, with SRP Util v4.0.6.4 . However, it doesn't occur with SRP Editor v2.7.1 (and still with SRP Util v4.0.6.4).
Bizarre! Can you replicate that?
Here's a simplified version of the code:
Call SRP_Com( oFS,'CREATE', 'Scripting.FileSystemObject')
oDrive = SRP_Com( oFS, 'CALL', 'GetDrive', "F")
shareName = SRP_Com( oDrive, 'GET', 'ShareName')
error = SRP_Com( '', 'ERROR')

While this does not answer the mystery you are dealing with, you might have better results in getting the ShareName if you use SRP_Path:
shareName = SRP_Path('PathToUnc', 'F:')Cheers, M@
