You can do a quick 'file' command on the filename.dat file and it can tell you what type of file it is. Here are a couple of examples off a system I have.

file.cfg: commands text
file.lic: c program text File contains 8 bit characters.

# file ping
ping: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module
