Default CSV dropping last comma for all lines after line 15

Hi there, I hope someone has seen this before and knows the fix! We have a
csv file format that we use to upload data to our custom system. The last 3
columns in the file are optional so they can sometimes be blank. We have
noticed that Excel is dropping the last comma on the lines beyond data line
15. So for example, I have a file with a header row and 20 rows of data. Say
all these data rows have the last 3 columns blank. If I save the file in CSV
and upload it, the system fails the upload since the lines 16 and beyond have
a missing comma! So I open the file in notepad to see what's up and I notice
that data lines 1 - 15 end with 3 commas ,,, since the columns were blank.
But the data lines 16-20 only had 2 commas! The last comma dropped!!

It is consistently happening with every file I have that has more than 15
lines!

Thanks for your help.
KZ
