Hi Sumit,

As per the related post:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/1341731

"

SUIM should provide an information on the changes that have taken place.
For passwords this might be critical (even displaying the hash value
might not be desired). So, a kind of abstraction is performed: the
passwords are only enumerated: "password #1", "password #2", ...

This allows you to tell when a password was changed and at what
point of time a password was potentially reused by the user.

As of NWAS ABAP 7.0 the system supports longer and case-sensitive
passwords.SUIM displays them as "long password" (actually it should
be  read as "potentially downwards-incompatible password");
whether those passwords are really longer than 8 characters or
containing  lower-case characters cannot be told (the system only
has the password  hash value).

"

So as you stated, in change document you see

Old value                                                                      New Value

Short password1                                                             Short Password2

Long password4                                                             Long Passwortd5    

so the password has been changed

- long password-> means new style (case sensitive,propably longer than
8 characters.

- short password-> means pre 7.0-passwords

You can see this information on usr02 table field USR02-CODVN.

Please also see SAP Note 946139 - SUIM/RSUSR100: Displaying password history (as of Rel. 7.00)

Hope this is of some help.

Kind regards,

Paul
