Every AS/400 shop. Absolute agony about making a change to a table.
You might gain more traction if you were not so predisposed to absolutes and hyperbole. In the SQL vs. RLA debate there are no real absolutes either way. Both have appropriate use cases. You're raising artificial barriers against RLA by ridiculing it and urging all DB I/O to be handled by SQL alone.
We use both SQL and RLA and don't agonize over changing table layouts. We're pretty agile with respect to changes to table layouts. We use a utility to scan RPG source members that would be affected by table layouts, and optionally compile them automatically. There typically aren't a lot. We encapsulate DB I/O appropriately. We use SQL in modules that generate filtered lists and reports, so none of those source members are affected. We don't recompile "the world".
