how to define a byte variable in bit addressing space in assembly

Hi,

There is am assembly file that will be integrated into my project that is written in c. A variable defined in the assembly file as

PROCTOCOL  equ  020H

I converted it to

RSEG ?BI?RunIsp?ISP
?RunIsp?BIT:
PROTOCOL:  DBIT  8

The compiler gave me two errors:
1. DATA-ADDRESS EXPECTED
2. INVALID BYTE BASE IN BIT ADDRESS EXPRESSION

The first error was caused by

MOV	PROTOCOL, #0

and the second error was caused by

SETB	PROTOCOL^1

How should I define PROTOCOL to make it work in c environment? Thank you for answering my question.
