Same code in different Pins

[skimask]

Assuming you have them on PORTB as shown. Just use Pin Numbers.

PIN  VAR BYTE

for PIN = 0 to 7
    owout PIN, 1, ["data here"]
next PIN

Numbers 0-7 are usually PORTB.0 thru PORTB.7, 8-15 can be PORTC, but it depends on the chip you are using.

I've got no idea how this came to me...magic I suppose...
How about a variable that's 'locked' into a certain memory location (porta in this case), and it's set up as an array.
Since the ports are usually in sequential order in the memory map, it seems to me like a person should be able to access those bits as bits of a variable, like you would any other ram variable.
i.e.
PIN var byte[4] $F80 system '5 bytes to handle porta, portb, portc, portd, porte, in the case of a PIC18F4620

then you'd access the pins by pin.0[index]...

Wouldn't that work?
