This is the result with the sample you gave us

Code:
root@maximus:/tmp# cat infile
a,b,c,d,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n
a,b,c,d,g,h,
i,j,k,l,m,n
a,b,c,d,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n
a,b,c,d,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n

root@maximus:/tmp# perl -0pe 's/,\n/,/g;s/\n,/,/g' infile
a,b,c,d,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n
a,b,c,d,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n
a,b,c,d,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n
a,b,c,d,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n

Which one are you using awk or perl? Which is your os?
