I'm confused by your question.

Why can't physical files be declared in RPG/CLP programs?
We do it all the time!  Perhaps you mean something other than
"physical file"?

To read a file randomly in RPG use CHAIN.

But, yes, you can not read a physical file in CLP randomly
without the use of an RPG program.
