I tend to use mixed case data area tags since I believe they help identify the 
field contents better -- a practice I loosely call "capital separated words."  
For example:
         CLI   DgwaParmCount,X'00'       Anything for COUNT parameter?
         BE    Init0020                  No ==> Stay with default
*
         PACK  DgwaDWord,DgwaParmCount   Convert desired record ...
         CVB   R3,DgwaDWord              ... count to binary
*
Init0020 DS    0H
         CLI   DgwaParmObid,X'00'        Anything for OBID parameter?
         BE    Init0030                  No ==> Stay with default
*
         PACK  DgwaDword,DgwaParmObid    Convert desired ...
         CVB   R4,DgwaDWord              ... OBID to binary
*
Init0030 DS    0H
         ST    R3,Dgwa#Records           Save binary record ...
         STH   R4,DgwaObid               ... count and OBID
*
         NI    DgwaParmSeed,X'7F'        Ensure positive initial seed
*
*  _________________ Copy Model DCB and DCBE to DGWA _________________
*
         MVC   DgwaOutDcb,OutDcbModel    Initialize DCB
         MVC   DgwaOutDcbe,OutDcbeModel  Initialize DCBE
*
         PUSH  USING                     Save current USING state
*
         USING IHADCB,DgwaOutDcb         Map encapsulated DCB
*
         LA    R0,DgwaOutDcbe            Get DCBE's address
         ST    R0,DCBDCBE                Set DCBE's address in DCB
         MVCFI DCBDDNAM,'SYSUT1  '       Set "SYSUT1" as DDNAME
*
         POP   USING                     Restore earlier USING state
(MVCFI - MVC From Inverted - is a macro that generates "MVCIN DCBDDNAM(8),=C'  
1TUSYS'+7")
