Gets or sets the Specific Type. This property represents the specific name of the date you are defining. This is not required. However, if you specify a value, it must be one of the values defined in the Date Type’s definition.

This property is significant when you want to refer to a specific instance of a Date Type. If you want to schedule a job to run on Christmas, you could define a Date Type of HOLIDAY with a Specific Date Type of CHRISTMAS.

For a continuous Date Type, such as a fiscal period, this field can be used to name each period. Generally fiscal periods correspond to calendar months so you could use Specific Date Types such as JAN, FEB, MAR etc. This would allow you to enter a date specification such as "2ND MONDAY OF FISCAL APR".
