I have a requirement wherein I need to store the values of a column in HOLDFILE in a variable as comma separated.

Let us suppose I have a holdfile HOLDVAL.
TABLE FILE HOLDVAL
PRINT VAL
END

If the result of the above query has rows such as
ONE
TWO
THREE.
I want them in the format ONE,TWO,THREE stored in a variable.
