Answer 1

First Download the B1TCH application.  After unzipping.  Run B1TCH.exe, enter the Server name, userid and password and Refresh Icon next to company dropdown list.
On the page link I send you can see the following tips.  You could build a query which picks all Items in the OITM table which do not exist in any of these OINM, OPOR and ORDR tables. 
You can save this list as a txt or dynamically pass the query.  Rest is explained below.
Deleting stuff
The following examples focus on deleting items from the database. This is something you cannot do with the DTW.
To delete a single item with ItemCode 'DEMOITEM1' from the database, just type:
remove(ITEM,'DEMOITEM1')
...you may also build the list of items by defining a list such as this:for itemcode in['A123','B124','C125']:  remove(ITEM,itemcode)
The above samples are nice for testing, but in a real world scenario you might perhaps want to read the itemcodes from a textfile with one itemcode per line:
for itemcode in open("c:
itemstodelete.txt"):  remove(ITEM, itemcode)
...OR you might wish to use a resultset from a query as a source for the item codes:
rs=query("select itemcode from oitm where qrygroup64='Y'")for itemcode in browse(rs):   remove(ITEM, itemcode)
Function calls can be nested for a more compact expression:
for itemcode in browse(query("select itemcode from oitm where qrygroup64='Y'")):  remove(ITEM, itemcode)
