I can read a record without locking it and update only the fields I want
using RPGIV without SQL. I wouldn't say either is harder to do with or
without SQL.

A few things:

With SQL it is a lot easier to avoid record lock situations. (A SELECT
does not lock a record).

You can update one field only w/o touching every field in a record.
