Let me get this straight.

I am an RPG program that has an internally described file open that the
operating system has checked has the same format level ID as the file I was
compiled against.

And you now want to change that file so that the program will either A) Fall
over in a heap on the next read or write operation or B) continue to process
as normal but silently corrupt data all over the place.

I really would advise your bosses, bosses that want he wants is a bad
idea!!!!

Can we have the context of why your boss wants this? There might be a less
risky solution.

That said I'll be shocked if anyone knows how to do want you need :-)
