Special and pair value sets provide a mechanism to allow a "flexfield-within-a-flexfield".
These value sets are primarily used for Standard Request Submission parameters. You do not generally use these value sets for normal flexfield segments.

Special and Pair value sets use special validation routines you define.
For example, you can define validation routines to provide another flexfield as a value set for a single segment or to provide a range flexfield as a value set for a pair of segments.

A Practical Example:
Suppose you run a report and report parameter needs Part No and Part no is a combination of Category+Item+Color. Now in that case report parameter will be passed as Category+Item+Color.
as a single field parameter

Hope ur Query Solves
