Hi Kumar, The status field in v2009 indicates the status set by the user, which can be ACTIVE, PAUSED, or DELETED. There is now a separate field which indicates whether or not the campaign is actual serving ads, which is called servingStatus:
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/CampaignService.Campaign.html#servingStatus In your situation the status should be ACTIVE (because you intend for the campaign to serve eventually) and the servingStatus will be PENDING until the start date is reached, at which point it will change to SERVING.
