What about the work in progress in DB2 buffers that is not yet committed

Data written to DASD will be consistent. DB2 is *transactional*
database. All uncommitted operations (transactions) will be rolled off.
It prevents DB2 database from data errors in case of hardware failure.
Consistent point-in-time copy will create similar image of DB2 datasets.
Data is consistent, but "consistency point in time" is a little bit
earlier than time of copy. You cannot predict the delta. You can cause
the delta to be zero: set log suspend.
