There was a lengthy discussion about this within the last year.  Chuck Pence gave a detailed answer.  It's in the archives somewhere.

Tim,

Are you referring to just job descriptions?

I'd be very careful because it's easy to get burned relying on last used
date or number of days used. Our QINTER JOBD shows no usage but I
certainly wouldn't consider deleting it.

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?  

Thanks, 
Tim
