András, there's no official way, but this might work if your
program uses parameters:

Call your program without any parameters and when you get an
inquiry message about the parameter not being passed, answer
'D' to get a dump.

Look in the dump listing and if you can see the varlen fields from
your externally-described files, then CVTOPT(*VARCHAR) was used.
(Otherwise, those VARLEN fields would have been ignored.)
