Specifies that FILEDATA is not to report on any resident files, even if they have archive or catalog backup copies. FILEDATA is to report only on files that are not currently resident on disk but do have at least one archive or catalog backup copy on tape. You can use this report to locate files that you no longer need (the files you might want to issue WFL ARCHIVE PURGE or CATALOG PURGE statements for).

A request that includes the NONRESIDENTONLY and ARCHIVE modifiers, but not the CATALOGUE modifier, reports on the same files that a WFL ARCHIVE RESTOREADD statement would copy from tape to disk.

NONRESIDENTONLY is invalid with the CONTAINER and TAPE modifiers.
