I'm doing some system cleanup. If the last used date is equal zero, is
it
safe to assume the object is not needed? Is there any type of process
that
would need the object to exist, yet would never update the last used
date or
number of days used?

CHKOBJ does not update the Last Used value.

CHKOBJ &mylib/SKIPMTHEND *DTAARA
MONMSG CPF9801 EXEC(DO)
/* Procedure to run month end if data area not found */
ENDDO

This is fairly innocuous, but much trickier (and more dangerous) conditions
could exist on your system. Know your data.
