It should.. the quotes should encapsulate each field, and the commas each
field. Commas inside of quotes shouldn't be a problem.

But, if there is some wacky data in there (like double quotes), you may need
to clean it up first.

CRLFs? What are these, big text fields?

You could give it a try.. Or wait for more responses.

It may take a little work figuring out the errors (null values
seems to come
to mind when I do this.. should be an option on the CPYFRMIMF
command) but
fairly painless. :)

But would that work for data that has commas and other punctuation (and
in one column, what appear to be CRLFs) in it?
