I am having a SQL database having the attributes First_Name; Last_Name; Sex; Address etc. For reporting to the authority I have an fixed format like
For First name: FN(no of characters in first name)First_Name
For example the first name Daniel should be like FN05Daniel
For example the last name Bose should be like LN04Bose
Is there any way using SSIS the same can be accomplished and the output can be generated in text format??
If not SSIS please suggest any probable mechanism to get the result. I am just learning coding so please don't mind if its a silly question.
Thanks

I'm not sure about SSIS, but you can easily do this within a SQL statement. In the following, the database is Test and the table is pran, which has two columns: first_name and last_name, both nvarchars.

SQL:
SELECT CONCAT('FN', FORMAT(LEN([first_name]), 'D2'), [first_name]),
      CONCAT('LN', FORMAT(LEN([last_name]), 'D2'), [last_name])
  FROM [Test].[dbo].[pran]
