Re: Determining Program "Last Access Date"

There's also the method of deleting everything and then waiting for the
phone to ring.  The users will tell you which programs that they use.  <g>
This will also test your backup procedure to make sure that you are backing
up everything that you need.

Hi All,



We have (I'm sure of it!) many internally-written programs that have
been rewritten and are currently in use.  However, the programmers
failed to remove the old program code and objects out of our AS/400,
resulting in many duplicated programs that may or may not be in use.  I
have been tasked to figure out what objects are currently in use and
what objects can be removed.



Is there an easy way to determine when a program was last run and
whether or not is it currently in use?  I'd really like to be able to
say "show me all programs that have not been accessed in 2005" or
something to that effect.



Any ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks!


Brian.
