Be assured that it is working on a well-formed text file. Did you examine your input file is correctly structured?

You can set the field separator by either the -F, option in front of the "script" parameter or the variable definition FS=","

NAME
mtype - mtools utility to display the contents of a DOS file SYNOPSIS
mtype [-ts] msdosfile [msdosfiles...] OPTIONS
Specifies text file viewing. Line terminators are converted to the appropriate format. Strips the high bit from the data. DESCRIPTION
The mtype command displays the specified file on the screen. Unlike conventions, this command supports multiple arguments. Subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported. If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in quotes to protect them from the shell. The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mtype: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the cur- rent mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used. FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default mtools working directory is A:. Executable file SEE ALSO
Commands: dos2unix(1), mcd(1), mread(1), mtools(1), unix2dos(1) mtype(1)
