I think you need to declare it like:

DECLARE INTEGER WNetAddConnection2 IN Win32API AS AddNetConnect;
@STRING, @STRING, @STRING, INTEGER

Then call it with:

sNetResource = '\\SCC_DB\sys'
sPassword = 'password'
sUserName = 'dbuser2'

iRetVal = AddNetConnect(@sNetResource, @sPassword, @sUserName, 0)

HTH!
