Adding filename to each line of the file

Hi,
I am a relative new bee in scripting. I need to develop a script such that the code would iterate through each file in a source directory and append every line of the file with '|' and the corresponding file filename.

eg
INPUT file IF927_1.dat -
H|abc
D|xyz|MARKETING_CAMPAIGN|1-D65XE|1|1|1||||
F|1

after using my shell script should look like
H|abc|IF927_1.dat
D|xyz|MARKETING_CAMPAIGN|1-D65XE|1|1|1|||||IF927_1.dat
F|1|IF927_1.dat

So far, reffering to similar post in this forum I have developed the below code:

Code:

SRC_DIR=$1  
DEST_DIR=$2

#Get the list of files in descending order 
C_C_FILE=  `ls $SRC_DIR/IF927_*.dat`

#Append each line in the file and copy to the dest directory
for FILE in C_C_FILE
do
    BASEFILENAME=`basename $FILE`
    APPENDING="|"$BASEFILENAME    
    sed 's/$/|$APPENDING/g' $SRC_DIR/$BASEFILENAME >  $DEST_DIR/$BASEFILENAME   
done

But the output of this code is :

H|abc|IF927_1.dat
|$APPENDING
D|xyz|MARKETING_CAMPAIGN|1-D65XE|1|1|1|||||IF927_1.dat
|$APPENDING
F|1|IF927_1.dat
|$APPENDING

There are two issues here:
1) The sed command is not translating the APPENDING variable
2) The sed command is appending the text in the new line and not at the end of the corresponding line.

Any quick response would be highly appreciated.

regards

dh_installdeb

DH_INSTALLDEB(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_INSTALLDEB(1)

NAME

       dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installdeb [debhelperoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files into the DEBIAN directories in package build directories with
       the correct permissions.

FILES

       package.postinst
       package.preinst
       package.postrm
       package.prerm
	   These maintainer scripts are installed into the DEBIAN directory.

	   Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.

       package.triggers
       package.shlibs
	   These control files are installed into the DEBIAN directory.

       package.conffiles
	   This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN directory.

	   In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory in a package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this
	   program, so there is no need to list them manually here.

       package.maintscript
	   Lines in this file correspond to dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters.  Any shell metacharacters will be escaped, so
	   arbitrary shell code cannot be inserted here.  For example, a line such as "mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will insert
	   maintainer script snippets into all maintainer scripts sufficient to move that conffile.

	   A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency is set in
	   ${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that token into an appropriate place in your debian/control file.
