Data Merge for Vertical Text

Question

I already know how to type vertically in Indesign using Path Type tool. But the problem with that is we need to hide the last character. I have 11,000 different data which I need to merge, and it will be absurd if I add 11,000 Hidden character of each of them. Please tell me what I can do here which can help me.

I can use Illustrator for data merge too. But, then I have to run a batch and save 11,000 different files.
