Generator's aren't like records that you can start transaction, lock,
update and commit transaction.

In order to do what you're proposing, you need to get the current
generator value, for example :

CurValue := Qry.GeneratorValue('GENERATOR_NAME', 0);

FutureGeneratorVAlue := 5;

CurValue := Qry.GeneratorValue('GENERATOR_NAME',
FutureGeneratorValue - CurValue);

This code may not work ,because between the first call to
GeneratorValue and the second call it's value can be changed since
it's not under transaction control..

Just my opinion...
