I think the OP is searching for custom programs that were created but are no longer being executed, not necessarily if they are used in other programs.

You can check standard report R_STATS_RECORD_FILTER and see how it retrieves the detail of programs run.

You can set a limit date and, unsing the same logic behind the given report, you can identify all your Z* programs not executed after that limit date.

The STATs are not suitable for this task as they do not pick up all usage. E.g. print programs, classes or function modules that are called from other programs (or not any more!).

What you need is UPL running in your produciton system and CCLM in Solman. You gather data for e.g. 14 months. Then you analyse it. There are reports in CCLM that will tell you how many times each ABAP component has run in the past 14 months, down to method of class level - even indirect/dynamic usage.

It will also look for orphaned objects - e.g. classes that are not called by any other object.
