Can a line label be aliased to a VAR?

[LinkMTech]

I'm working on a program using PBP2.47 that would have me repeating sub-routines for multiple input conditions and wondered if it were "allowable" to:

Alias a VAR to a line label, or


Assign a temporary variable name to a previously defined VAR

My direction was this:
Monitor two digital inputs then react upon a change and assign a variable name to the detected input variable.
Scan two other inputs (switch setting) and assign a temporary variable name to VAR Mode.
Here's a snipet of the code that shows my intentions but falls short of compiling.


Start:
' Turn OFF timer and clear registers
T1CON.0 = 0 ' Turn off TMR1
TMR1H = 0 ' Clear TMR1 high byte counter
TMR1L = 0 ' Clear TMR1 low byte counter
T1CON = 48 ' Prescaler set to 1:8, and timer OFF

While (lts = 0) and (rts = 0): wend
pause 10 ' Debounce time
gosub time1 ' Start timer and come back
if (lts = 0) and (rts = 0) then start 'False switch, go back and wait
if (lts = 1) and (rts = 1) then start 'Hazard lights ON, go back

' Check mode select switch position and assign Mode variable
if (msel2 = 0) and (msel3 = 0) then md = 1
if (msel2 = 1) and (msel3 = 0) then md = 2
if (msel2 = 0) and (msel3 = 1) then md = 3
if md = 1 then
mode = timed ' Mode now this label
endif
if md = 2 then
mode = fixed1 ' Mode now this label
endif
if md = 3 then
mode = fixed2 ' Mode now this label
endif

' Check which side activated and assign side variables
if lts = 1 then sd = 1
if rts = 1 then sd = 2
if sd = 1 then
Side_brake = lrl ' Side_brake assigned to this VAR
side = lts ' Side assigned to this VAR
endif
if sd = 2 then
side_brake = rrl
side = rts
endif

goto start


This way one sub-routine can be performed using the "inserted" variable names, such as:



i = 0
HIGH side_brake ' side_brake previously assigned to certain output
FOR i = 1 to 3
PULSOUT side, "x time" ' side previously assigned to certain output
GOSUB ChecknSee ' Monitor inputs during OFF period and return
NEXT i
LOW side_brake
RETURN


I'm hoping I'm doing something feasible but needed someone's help in case I'm close or to stop me before I spiral out of control with an exercise in futility.

Thanks in advance...

The simple answer is no. It looks like you cane rewrite this using "select case", and choose the goto destination accordingly.

Thank you Ron,
I'll research the Select/Case usage.
Sometimes I feel I'm over looking something and get caught up in a paralysis of analysis when trying to be efficient about the whole thing.
