First question: Do all the files contain multiple lines, or just one line per file? If the former, must all the lines comply with the number of commas?

Assuming the latter, this might be a little better:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
###
###  Name:         check_excesiveComma.sh
###  Path:          /export/home/test
###  Description:  Copy a list of Filenames that have more than 14 commas
###  Version:      1.1
###  Author:       DKelly
###

FPATH=/export/home/test
DAT=`date`
MSG=/tmp/email.txt
OUTPUT=/tmp/output.txt

###  Change Directory to $FPATH
cd $FPATH

LIST=`ls -1 DK* 2>/dev/null`

###  Check all files for more than 14 commas and output the filenames
for FILE in $LIST
do
    [ `awk -F, '{print NF;}' $FILE` -gt 14 ] && echo $FILE >> $OUTPUT
done

###  Mail out the message and delete the output and message
cat $MSG | /usr/bin/mailx -s"Graftons Files that might cause issues" davy

###  remove files.
rm $MSG
rm $LIST
rm $OUTPUT

###  end script

If the former, a bit more work will need to be put into it.

I have fixed a couple of obvious bugs in your code. Please, never use ls -l | awk '{ print $x;}'. It is unnecessary and dependent on the version of ls you are using.
