For PROCs it's NOT hit or miss.
If a PROC is invoked it's reported it the step record.

That was, by my understanding, at least part of the original request.

For regular DSNs it is hit or miss -- depending on whether the member is 
specified or not.

The rest is problematic.

I did mention SMF records.  I'm not sure what you mean - are you disagreeing 
that it's hit or miss?  

I'm suggesting that you can search through SMF history and maybe you'll find 
when the proc was last invoked, but maybe you won't.  It just depends on how 
much history you keep.  Doesn't it?

Not in all cases.

As I stated PROCs invoked can be determined from SMF step records.
