There is not a real difference. The mapping between ABAP and Domain is here:
ABAP-Type -> Dictionary-Type
- b, s, i, int8 maps to -> INT1, INT2, INT4, INT8
- p maps to -> DEC (acc. length and decimals)
- decfloat16, decfloat34 map to -> DF16_RAW, DF34_RAW
- f maps to -> FLTP
- c maps to -> CHAR (acc. length)
- n maps to -> NUMC (acc. length)
- d maps to -> DATS
- t maps to -> TIMS
- x maps to -> RAW (acc. length)
I think the different naming comes from the history: domains were used in the context of data base tables first and had to provide types which could be used in these data bases.
