Program to illustrate the solution of the problem

F=open("data.dat","a")

while(True):
   id=input("Enter Id:")
   name=input("Enter Name:")
   salary=input("Enter Salary:")

   data="{0},{1},{2}\n".format(id,name,salary)
   F.write(data)

   ch=input("Continue y/n?")

   if(ch=="n"):break
F.close()

Output:

Enter Id:10032
Enter Name:John Does
Enter Salary:45000
Continue y/n?y
Enter Id:10323
Enter Name:Ram
Enter Salary:50000
Continue y/n?n

File Contents (data.dat):
10032,John Doe,45000
10323,Ram,50000

In the above code, we have opened the file for writing using 'a' mode. After this we have taken input from the user. And using the write() method, we have appended the data to the file.
