You might want to spend some time at the link I gave previously and look through

the various properties and methods associated with a bizobj. Two that come to

mind right of the top of head, that would seem to serve your purpose are

getChangedStatus() and getDataDiff(). Also look at SaveNewUnchanged property.

The UI layer does a lot of its data work by reaching down to the biz layer

anyway, so I think you find what need in bizobj.
