You can use object auditing to tell you each time an object is accessed.   Turn
it on for the program in question and then comb the audit journal (QSYS/QAUDJRN)
for the results.

The previous suggestion of using 'object last used date' won't work because that
field is only updated once a day..... not on every use.
