Removing parts of a specific field

All,
I have a field in a comma seperated file with hundreds of lines and about 20 columns and I wish to remove all numbers after the decimal point in field 4 on each line and output the rest to another file or write it back to itself.

File is like this

20070126, 123.0, GBP, 1234.5678, xxxx, 10, 10, 367.00,
20070127, 126.0, USD, 123.12, xxx, 20, 20,........

What would be the best way to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
