I might be misunderstanding the problem, but isn't the (supported) way to deal 
with this just to edit each account from the CoA and change the type to Credit 
Card?

If there are many affected accounts, it will be a bit tedious, but I should 
have thought as a one-time only job, quicker & easier than hacking & testing 
on the datafile?
