I managed to make such job in IIS 8.5, but i think it can be reproduced in all 8.* versions/

Main question is how to get rows count in transformer. In general it can't be done. But we have sequential file stage as target.

So my solution:
1) name of 1st target file is job parameter.
2) on link to 2nd target file we add to columns:
FNAME=#FIRSTTARGETFILE# - name of 1st target file
ROW_NUM=@INROWNUM - number of input row
3) on input link to 2snd sequntial file set Collector Type=Ordered and set ROW_NUM as sort key column
4) Then in 2nd Sequntial File Stage at tab Properties add "Filter" in Options category and write there "head -n 1"

Profit!

SO the idea is to get column num in transformer and apply unix style filter (mks on Windows) on output to Seq File.
