I might have felt that way in 1960 if SOAP and TASS had an EQU statement;; I certainly didn't feel that way once I had routine access to a 3270 for my TSO sessions.

But I use * when I am jumping around one instruction. Revealing my age, I got in the habit of using EQU rather than labeled machine instructions because if you are using punched cards and need to insert a new instruction right after the label, you only have to punch one card if you used EQU, but two if you put the label on a machine instruction.
