*edit* - I realise this is in the SSIS forum, my response didn't take that into account so deleted.

The first lines need to be added through a script task.

After that, use a dataflow with flat file destination to append the data to the existing flat file.

Thanks Koen. That's a good point. I will try to add the top portion through script and use the Flat File destination option

to add the below Item details.

By the way., is there a way to append data in the existing Flat file when using Flat file destination?

Suresh

In the Flat File Destination, you have a checkbox for "Overwrite data in the file". I assume if you leave this blank data will be appended.
