Switch connected to 74hc589

[djc]

Hi all,
I have connected 8 switches to 8 parallel inputs of 74hc589. I want to get the status of 8 switches. Here is my code

void clock_function()
{

//                     par_rck = 1;
//                     #asm("nop")
//                     par_rck = 0;
                     
                     par_sload = 0;
                     #asm("nop")
                     par_sload = 1;
                                       
                                        
                                          
                                        
                                        if(par_out==1){
                                        key_status[7]=1;
                                        }
                                        else{

Here i am looking for counter key_1 to key_4 to compete the count of 200 to change the switch variable status to 1 and count of 400 to change the switch variable status to '0'. But instead of  incrementing the variable i want it to change the status at once. Means if switch is pressed once corresponding variable status should  change. How to do that, please guide.
