With no DDS source, then Record Length (RCDLEN) is specified and the File Type (FILETYPE) is either Data (PF-DTA) or Source (PF-SRC). The former type is a flat-file, and the latter is a special variant of a flat-file with an actual [rather than pseudo] external description that is called a Source Physical File.

The SQL catalogs are for the SQL so they need not track that which the SQL does not support; /flat files/ have very limited support, and no support via the catalogs. The SQL supports only that which is considered "relational", and what is in a permanent library [SCHEMA]. The DSPFD SYSPSTAT likely shows some selection criteria, similar to SYSTABLES, whereby there is a predicate in the WHERE clause explicitly including rows only where DBXREL='Y'.
