ABAP_MODIFICATION_NN Database Commit for HTTP/HTTPS/SMTP Communication

In ABAP_RELEASE 7.40, SP05 and higher, during HTTP/HTTPS/SMTP communication using Internet Communication Framework , a database commit is executed in an ICF server program or ICF client program (except while updating before every response is sent).
In previous versions (before ABAP_RELEASE 7.40, SP05), a call from an ICF client program only raised a database commit, if the work process was switched due to the maximum waiting time being exceeded.
