    We have custom RPG codes built over the Lawson application. In version 9.0 can we directly READ or UPDATE database files by using these RPG commands like we are doing currently. Or do we have to use APIs for it?

      No need to worry about your RPG in version 9. Your only concern is the changes in the physical files or views (tables/indexes). If there is a change in any of the tables your are using then you have to readjust your program and recompile. Also some of your programs might render obsolete if some system functionality has change like TA to Absence Management.
