I have a fixed width file which length is 10000 so when i try to create a flat file connection manager for this file in SSIS and assign it to Flat file source i am receiving an error stating that "The length must be between 0 and 8000" so how do i parse this lengthy fixed width file.

This issue has been fixed. In Flat File Connection Manager editor, click on Advanced Tab --> set the column length to 10K.--> set it's data Type as text stream [DT_TEXT].

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
