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

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 / 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
