Actually, expanding on that. Open up the ARSystem database so you can run some SQL queries. Do a count on entries in the action tables for your workflow tables (actlink_push, filter_push, filter_set, etc). Then count the entries in the object tables (arschema, actink, filter, escalation, arcontainer, char_menu). You can then tell them the following:
System has X form objects which call a total of X workflow objects.
X workflow objects perform a total of X actions.
It won't tell you "how many lines of code" the system has, but it will help
portray the level of complexity that the system is performing. You can
break down the above a little more thoroughly to prove a more comprehensive
solution based on what your boss is looking for.

Careful! Maybe they are going to pay you based upon the number of lines of
code, as a measure of complexity.
Count the active links and multiply by the number of parameters in each.
Same with filters, add them to the mix. Then multiply by the number of
tickets. Add something for guides or other programming constructs you have
implemented.
That would be a better indication of the complexity, which is what the
metric is attempting to discover.
YMMV

Okay, I will reset the clock on the list server so we are now Friday.
>From the original question, any Friday in the 1970s or 80s.
Don't forget to use 71 character lines (if I remember correctly and
probably
don't, column 72 was for an X to say this line is extended for at least
Fortran and the rest were for sequencing your card deck in case they fell
off where you put them and spread themselves over the floor).
Anybody who knows the correct answer has *really* dated themselves.
For the rest of you, I am going back 32 years, the first and last year I
used a card punch.
So David, bundle up all the responses from the arslist, bind them, Pick a
number(as recommended by your peers, either random number or An inaccurate
calculated one), attach a printout of the .def file and All supporting code
from mid-tier, integrations etc. and hand it in :-)

p.s. has everyone requested funding for the BMC UserWorld in Miami?

Geez . . . no one has used the "lines of source code" (SLOC) measurement
since the 1980's! It was a poor metric then with monolithic languages
(Cobol, Fortran, etc.), and it's an even poorer metric today using
object-oriented software and N-tier architectures.
But you may still need to provide a valid number. Can anyone from Remedy
provide a ballpark SLOC metric by application?
