PFieldSpecification is used as a common base class for display and data specifications.

A specification is a compiled form for a field description.

A field description is a String that describes the fields that need to be read from a starting flist to get a needed value. For example, if you want to read a billing contact's last name from an /account flist, the field description would be: FldNameinfo[1].FldLastName. Use a dot (.) to separate members of the flist hierarchy to indicate that the prior field describes another flist that the next field is located in. The field prior to a dot can be a substruct, array, object, or POID.
