HP System Dictionary XL Gen. Ref. Vol. 1

Creating Domains 

You can create domains through either the System Dictionary intrinsics or
an SDMAIN command.  No matter what method you use, an empty domain is
created and given a user-specified name.

Domains and the Dictionary Structure 

Although you can use the domain feature of System Dictionary to create
separate sets of entities and relationships, you cannot use it to create
separate dictionary structure definitions.  All domains in a dictionary
exist in the same dictionary structure, and therefore, regarding the
structure, entities and relationships are always specified and used the
same way, no matter which domain you are using.
