Wouldn't something like DUL need to read Oracle's dictionary? My impression is that a lot of stuff in the data files is heavily encoded, like date and number formats. Wouldn't you need the dictionary to understand where one column stops and the next starts, and maybe even where one row ends and the next begins?
