Greetings,

> i have tried as $260a, $260b, $260c but its appearing on three lines.

A single MARC record field generally looks sort of like (I'm not being 
exact):
=260  \\$aValueA$bValueB$cValueC
Of course, that's in the human readable version of the MARC file.

I would strongly recommend using MARCEdit:

Once your records are good, then importing into Koha should good relatively 
smoothly.
Perhaps these two videos may be useful for you:
