In 1985 (first MF assembler gig, I had been doing PC programming before that), we were using Assembler H on MVS/XA (as I recall). Our shop standard was to use EQU * for labels
Poor pprogramming practice.
and ALWAYS code a a label on a branch in open code, even if it was just skipping a single instruction. Macros were another matter (and we had a lot). Personally, I've only had a couple of instances since 1982 where EQU * caused an issue that DS 0H wouldn't have...and the assembler caught those.
