It sounds like you need an array of bits... as far as I know, that's not available in SX/B and there's no direct way to do it in ASM either (though I'm by no means an ASM expert).  I would use a byte as an array, and each bit as a separate iteration.  Something like this:

[code]
CHK_DM_CLS 	SUB	1
[/code]

[code]
CHK_DM_CLS  state           '"state" is a byte variable...
[/code]
  
[code]
SUB CHK_DM_CLS	           'Where state.0, state.1, and state.2 are the parameters
					'You can also clone the state of a set of input pins to state by 
					'doing this: state  = RB, or you can substitute RB for state altogether
tmp1 = __PARAM1
FOR index = 0 TO 2
    IF tmp1.0 = 1 THEN
        'Close dome
    ENDIF
    tmp1 >> 1	
NEXT

ENDSUB
[/code]

This subroutine closes the dome if [i]any[/i] of the state are "on."  It shifts through each bit since you can't use a variable as a bitIndex.
