So if I understand you right, you are suggesting using class diagrams, activity diagrams for DFDs. And unlike a regular class diagram for instance, there will be no class level relationship such as generalization or inheritance but each class will represent just plain data and associations between classes will indicate data flow.
I am not saying that it is not doable but I would prefer not doing it for the sake of avoiding blending mismatching concepts. I would suggest using Visio rather than UML modelling tool for this. Orcunc: not quite. Activity Diagrams allow you to show object flow dataflow among activities processes. When all's done, I'd say stick with DFDs if they meet your needs. If your employer needs convincing, show him how simple the DFD looks in comparison with the equivalent Activity Diagram!
Show 3 more comments. UML 2 has a very good analogue to a data flow diagram: the "information flow diagram". Don't know why you got a downvote for an IMHO correct answer, upvoted yours. I am sorry I haven't provided an answer, but it depends on what code you are writing. Different people think differently. I've seen many instances where OO was used under the premise that procedural style is outdated; and the result was something as a mess.
The palm d'or goes to a teacher I know, who explained inheritance using as example Seriously, a tomato object? The "Information Flow Diagram" cited by user is a bright suggestion for your boss.
I'd say, try not to use a tomato u see what I mean where a traditional function does the job. Finally, multi-paradigm exists because it's useful: deal with it, and add a DFD.
