  For this purpose, the statement READ ENTITIES is available in different variants, which reference one or more entities of a business object, statically or dynamically: READ ENTITIES, READ ENTITY and READ ENTITIES OPERATIONS.

• Triggering the saver sequence.
  For this purpose the statement COMMIT ENTITIES is available in different variants: COMMIT ENTITIES and COMMIT ENTITIES RESPONSES.

• Handling the result of the adjust_numbers method.
  For this purpose there is the block-constructing variant of COMMIT ENTITIES and the CONVERT KEY statement.

• Rolling back all changes since the last COMMIT.
