To Solasa and others ....whenever you read data from an input file...you need to be careful about the last data value in every dataline you have values like x,xxx,xxx which is total width of 9, when you mention more than 9 the input pointer will go the next data line to get the remaining spaces. So in your code you used comma10. try with using comma9. I am very sure it will work.
Another option is if you want to keep that comma10. use TRUNCOVER in the infile statement, this should fix all the extra spaces you mention in the input statement.
let me know if this does not help you
