SU01 role add versus role change inside customer exit Z_USERS_TRANSFER

Question

We're using customer exit Z_USERS_TRANSFER (reference note 367660) to do some custom code after a SU01 save.  The "changed" roles are transferred through an internal table and I'm also querying the table AGR_USERS to get the userid's "current" roles into an internal table.  I also know the SU01 mode (create, change or delete).
The problem is being able to differentiate between an added role or a changed role while in SU01 change mode.  For example, if I add role ABC the changed_role_itab has role ABC and the current_role_itab has role ABC.  If I then change role ABC to have a valid from date of 5/19/2007, both of the internal tables will have role ABC with a valid from date of 5/19/2007.
I thought about looking at change documents but that may be too complicated.  Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad,
I have a workaround for you. In the user exit do as following...
Delcare a internal table withe structure AGR_DEFINE
example : data: t_agr_define type agr_define occurs 0 with header line.
now read the role information from the database table ( This would have old values since you have not changed yet inSU01).
select * from agr_fine into t_agr_define where agr_name = <rolename.
Now you  will have old value to be compared with another internal table current_role_itab.
Reward points if its helpful.
