Try the CPYTOSTMF (Copy to Stream File) command or the COPY/CPY
command. Physical files only exist in the QSYS.LIB file system, so
cannot be moved to another file system. The copy commands can be used
to copy the data from a physical file (member) into new objects (stream
files).

Also it is possible to create a symbolic link from another file system
to a physical file (member) in the QSYS.LIB file system. See the ADDLNK
command.

It is: /QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/SS000530/xxxx.MBR
That is, the last name element is the member name followed by ".MBR"
suffix.
See section 5.4.2.4 Path Names in the IFS Intro manual for more info:
