Is this an ufsdump archive? In such case, you can list its content with:
Code:
ufsrestore ta filename.dump

Otherwise, what says:
Code:
file filename.dump

?

Code:
ufsrestore ta <file_name>.dump
Volume is not in dump format

OK. So we now know that this is not a ufsdump dump file.

So, as jlliagre suggested, what is the output from the command:
Code:
file filename.dump

IF we cannot know the file type (what application/utility created the file in the first place) we cannot help you.

when i did as mentioned above i found then type as follows

Code:
<file_name>:    commands text

I suspect it is a text file then.Please correct me if wrong

That's a good guess.

What makes you feel this file contains itself files and directories that need to be extracted?

Did you look at its contents? eg:

Code:
less filename.dump
