Do you have a change management system that promotes from development to
production? If not, would he consider looking at some? These solutions
won't do what he has asked, but they probably do solve his "sick &
tired" feeling. :)

What you have described can be somewhat circumvented by using level check
of *NO (audible gasps and shouts of "heretic") and adding only alpha fields
(even if a numeric field is what is desired)
The boss's boss wants a quicker turnaround of projects, so much so that we
have been asked to look into other languages available on the AS/400 (EGL
is the first one and that might mean another thread in and of itself)
He is tired of having to wait to change/recompile ALL the applicable
programs for a change to a file, then having to push the appropriate people
off the system so that these changes can be applied to the files on the
production system
