It's a system generated domain. It contains the datatype information for
one of your fields. You should be able to find it in the system table
RDB$FIELDS. And, dependent type 3 corresponds that it depends on a
computed field. You can find this information in the Language Reference
volume of the IB6 Beta documentation (you can find it on www.ibphoenix.com).

BTW, what are you trying to do?
