We might want to consider using the SQL Loader for inserting the data
from a crippled mode dump into the Oracle database.
Apparently Oracle supplies this utility (SQL LOADER) which can read
ascii files and insert the data into DB tables. You define the format
of the ascii file and tell the loader how to interpret the data,
etc. and then the loader utility takes care of inserting it into the
database. It even does things such as creates a "reject" file for
records that it could not insert, etc.
