How to read or get Current Status of Campaign

Hi All,

I am working in CRM Marketing Campaign. I have a requirement to send mail on change of status in campaign.

I need to know how do i fetch current status of my campaign. I dont need status from database so is there any method or function module by which

i can get status . And another problem is that campaign is not a part of one order framework so i am not able to use crm order read too.

I used a class CL_CRM_MKTPL_APPL_BASE and its method STATUS_READ and ELEMENT_READ i did not get the the current status. in status i got the status as 'updated' not the current status like in my case 'approval by marketing manager' and all so how do i fetch it.

this is a live object so quick help is highly appreciated.
