# 8  
Old 12-21-2012
I don't find any error whilst doing in my terminal. Just curious how your 8,A1 is incrementing your index.

Rather use
Code:
sed = (or) nl+tr

Code:
# echo $date
Fri Dec 21 12:06:55 IST 2012


# echo $service
id2_3


# echo $record
8

# sed -e "1,$record s/^/8,A1,$date,$service,/g" -e "1,$record s/$/,,,,,,,,,,,,,
/g" file

Probably removing the -n will work
