Here is an unlikely reason for the missing Dicts (I am assuming they are missing): Whoever created the fields did not want people to easily access them. For example, un-encrypted passwords. I seriously doubt this is the situation, but I thought I would just throw it out. My vote is still

Missing dicts seems likely to me also. In our system we tend to create dicts only for fields we report / select on. File layouts are maintained in a bespoke editor, which in turn ties in with the way we use records from these files programmatically. So programmers tend to maintain the file
