Your problem has nothing to do with Keil software, but with the 8051 architecture. Or, in a more general sense, with the concept of interrupt functions.
You cannot pass an argument to an interrupt function.
It is that simple. An interrupt function does not have a "caller" that could pass arguments to the function, since it is called by hard-wired logic inside the processor. (Note that if you perform an explicit call of an interrupt function anywhere in your program, you have introduced a quite nasty bug).
Any data your interrupt function required must be delivered in some other way (i.e. kept in global variables and similar).
