To replace a SX/B command XXXX I would suggest use a macro name mXXXX.
The parameters for a SX/B command would also be passed to the macro,
and here is the first problem.

SX/B Syntax: [b]PAUSE[/b] [i]Value1 {[, | *] Value2}[/i]

A macro parameter is either a constant (used as #constant) or a name (used as ??name??)
but it cannot be both. So many SX/B commands can not have a single macro equivalent.
It is possible to define more macros to cover the SX/B parameter formats.
A better option is to pass a constant that serves as format specifier so the macro
can distinquish between parameter formats.

mPAUSE macro format, value1, value2

 

if format=0 then use mPAUSE value1

if format=1 then use mPAUSE value1,value2
etc. for all possible SX/B parameter formats

Secondly, in case of pause, one should not be required to define variables used.
Instead, some temporary system variables should be used.

Note that a SX/B command PAUSE 100
would need to be replaced by
asm
mPAUSE 0,100,0
endasm

in your code, so there (always) is a change in the parameter list.
