ARRGH i didn't notice how you did your code...

for digit = 1 to 5
current = LOOKUPl digit, [byt_03,byt_04,byt_05,byt_06,byt_07]
SHIFTOUT datapin, clkpin, MSBFIRST, [digit] 'digit adress
SHIFTOUT datapin, clkpin, MSBFIRST, [current] 'digit data
PULSOUT load1, 3 
next

you must

enable the load line
use the shiftout
disable the load line

how about using something like

for digit = 1 to 5
    current = LOOKUPl digit, [byt_03,byt_04,byt_05,byt_06,byt_07]
    
    LOW Load1
    SHIFTOUT datapin, clkpin, MSBFIRST, [digit] 'digit adress
    SHIFTOUT datapin, clkpin, MSBFIRST, [current] 'digit data
    HiGH load1
    PAUSE 10
    next

but more than likely

for digit = 1 to 5
    current = LOOKUPl digit, [byt_03,byt_04,byt_05,byt_06,byt_07]
    
    LOW Load1
    SHIFTOUT datapin, clkpin, MSBFIRST, [digit,current]
    HiGH load1
    PAUSE 10
    next
