Answer / ajay kuriyal
from my point of view the best way is to do boolean
XR RX,RX
Now RX will have '0000'

Answer / pazhanivel seethapathy
The standard ways to intialize registers are as follows
1. SR Rx,Rx or
2. LA Rx,0 or
3. XR Rx,Rx

Answer / sunny
XR Rx,Rx
This is the best way and most efficient way of initializing
the register values or Label values to '0'.
Its because the time required to execute a Logical
Instruction is always less than the Arithmetic Instructions.
e.g SR Rx,Rx consumes more execution time than XR Rx,Rx.
So XR Rx,Rx is a better way to do obtain our target.

Answer / sourav
The best way to initialize a register is
SR Rx,Rx
instruction.
There are other ways as well, few of them are already
posted.

Answer / anonym
1. Register i-memory (fastest)
LA x,0
SRL x,64
2. register register
XGR/XR x,x
SGR/SR x,x
3. register memory (not very clever)
L x,=A(0)
LG x,=AD(0)

Answer / sam
I'm assuming something like
R0 EQU 0
R1 EQU 1
:
Rx EQU x
is coded somewhere in the program

In the house keeping section of an MVS assembly language program, like the one below STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 USING *,R12,R11 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) .... .... 1. What if BASR R12,R0 IS NOT PRECEDE USING *,R12,R11? 2. USING (base address), REGISTER does USING directive says assembler to treat particular Register as a base register with the mentioned base address..in the above case * i.e current location counter..well if that is the case why we need BASR R12,R0 ? 3. What if I write like STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) USING *,R12,R11 there is no address resolution being calculated in both LA statements so is it a right way to set Base register?..will there be any issues with Domain regarding R11 and R12?
