Bulk/Mass (???) agent assignment for task

[Ramki Maley]

We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise 6.20, and are doing agent assignment by Role
(Security Roles). When we started developing our workflows it seemed as if
there will be 2 or 3 roles that need to be assigned to a task. But now for
reasons beyond our control we have to assign anywhere between 30 to 40
roles per task and there are several tasks. The standard way of assigning
agents via PFTC can get to be very tedious since the 'Choose Role' pop up
only accepts 12 characters and one has to chose one role at a time from a
list of roles displayed.
 
Is there an alternate way to do Agent Assignment where all required roles
can be assigned in one shot?
 
I have an ABAP solution that will do what I need to do (mimics the Agent
Assignment taking the roles from an internal table) but I am not sure if it
might cause any inconsistencies in the org buffers. Would executing the
SWU_OBUF after running  the ABAP resolve any inconsistencies?
 
Thanks in advance.
