This is the actual data in a csv file.

Code:
 
abcd,789756,20140211,20140202,464532.00,C,XZY,,,Settlement of purchase.,,1
abcd,795156,20140211,20140202,548962.52,C,JPY,,,Payement to: tokyo BNF=N,,1
abcd,763256,20140211,20140202,42188.80,C,USD,,,recieved from ,,1
abcd,756556,20140211,20140202,456898.28,C,EUR,,,Payment via.,,1
abcd,732656,20140211,20140202,58461.10,C,INR,,,Settlement of purchase.,,1
abcd,798756,20140211,20140202,323156.82,C,AUD,,,Settlement of purchase.,,1
abcd,789856,20140211,20140202,84621.63,C,CHF,,,Settlement of sale no B35453 EUR 471.60,,1
abcd,785456,20140211,20140202,86421.40,C,USD,,,Settlement of purchase.,,1

Some times the one or two records will have a next line character in between causing it to split into two lines like this

If you see the 5 th record, it is split into 2.
This need to be auto corrected either in the same file or another file with the same file name as the original.
