Aliasing multiple pins

I have a very simple question. Can I create an alias for two input pins say:

Switch.0 VAR PortA.0
Switch.1 VAR PortA.1

And then use Switch with Select Case to perform functions based on the setting of the two switchs.

When I try to compile the above code, I get a syntax error.

Thanks...Chris

Try replacing the dots by underscores in the variable names like I show you below. I used underscores all the time. I don't think you can use dots in variable names.

Switch_0 VAR PortA.0
Switch_1 VAR PortA.1

Or
SWITCH var PortA
then
SWITCH.0
SWITCH.1
SWITCH.2
are valid names of each Bit/Port

or this way
switch var byte
switch.0 = portA.0
switch.1 = portA.1

OR

Code:

Switch VAR BYTE

SW0 VAR PORTA.0
SW1 VAR PORTB.1
SW2 VAR PORTC.3
SW3 VAR PORTD.7


Switch.0 = SW0
Switch.1 = SW1
Switch.2 = SW2
Switch.3 = SW3

Thanks for the suggestions. What worked well is the first sugggestion,

Switch_0 var Porta.0
Switch_1 var PortA.1

Now I can access the contents of the two switches through Switch.

Thanks again...Chris
