Can such interface be handled with SHIFTOUT? (Macroblock MBI5026 LED driver)

[CuriousOne]

Hello.
I got some MBI5026, with LEDs connected to it's output. I want to turn them on via PBP.
According to datasheet, the following timing diagram should be used. I tried to use it with the code below,but it does not works. I have OE connected to GND, so this should not be an issue?

SDI VAR PORTC.4
CLK VAR PORTC.5
LE VAR PORTC.6
CONT VAR WORD
FOR CONT=0 TO 65535
LCDOUT $FE,$C0,"VAL=", DEC CONT
SHIFTOUT SDI,CLK, 0, [CONT]
HIGH LE
PAUSE 1
LOW LE
PAUSE 10
NEXT

From the SHIFTOUT section in the manual:

SHIFTOUT DataPin, ClockPin, Mode, [Var{\Bits}...]
...
...
\Bits optionally specifies the number of bits to be shifted out. If it is not specified, 8
bits are shifted out, independent of the variable type.

I guess you have to make a word variable and send out the bits you need (if more than a byte).

variable is already WORD.
I tried to add \16 to shiftout, but still nothing...

What value of REXT do you have?
Just to be sure... it's a sink driver so you do have the LEDs connect the right way around - anode to +V, cathode to 5026 output pin), right?

Rext is 2.2K
LEDs are connected in a proper way - I tried to ground the LED pin going into the chip via 220 ohm resistor - it came on.
So I guess, maybe I need to change state of the OE pin too? Currently I have it grounded.
