On any client dependent table you can use this specification, to get the data different from the logon client !!

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the clause <b>CLIENT SPECIFIED</b>?

The only advantage that I know of is that it will allow you to SELECT data from other clients. It's not something we normally use.

If you specify the client, then it will fetch from the specified client. You have to specify in where clause.

We specify the client in the where condition.

It will reduce the burden on the data base right???

I mean it will search the data in the specified client only?

No - it won't. If you leave off the CLIENT SPECIFIED, it will only search the current client.

by default the system selects from the current client only if u have not specified.

if u want to switch off this feature u can use client specified and give the mandt values explicitely

Hi,

Yes, it will work only for client dependant tables.

If your customized table have MANDT field in the table, then you can use CLIENT SPECIFIED.

Thanks,
