Rows to Columns - File Transpose

Hi I have an input file and I want to transpose it but I need to take care that if any field is missing for a record it should be popoulated with space for that field - using a shell script

INFILE
----------
Code:
emp=1
sal=2
loc=abc
emp=2
sal=21
sal=22
loc=xyz
emp=5
loc=abc

OUTFILE
----------
Code:
emp,sal,loc
1,2,abc
2,21, 
 ,22,xyz
5, ,abc

It is like I will have data for atleast one of the three (emp, sal, loc) but while transposing I need to see if any value is missing then (space) " " is populated.
