[quote="Bean (Hitt Consulting)"]What you are trying to do cannot be done. Your trying to alias a bit variable to a different bit position. You need code to do that.
Also "READ" is a reserved word.

I would recommend you make your connection in the order you want the bits to be in. Then you can just alias the whole port.

ReadBack  VAR RA 
Chrg         VAR RB

Oops on the read reserved word.  I just made that one up here as an example..   

So your saying if I do, something like

ReadBack  VAR RA 
Chrg         VAR RB

I can then referr to the bits I want later...

I.E.   ReadBack.0,  ReadBack.1  =   RA.0,  RA.1

And Chrg.0, and Chrg.1   =  RB.0,  RB.1

My whole goal of doing this was to be able to set one bit of ReadBack,,, and then referr to all bits in ReadBack as a whole.
I didn't want to use elaborate code to combine different ports into one byte..
