I NEED HELP To convert Excel Macro (VB) code to SQL statements...

I would usually copy the 3 Values (ID1, ID2 and ID3) into an excel worksheet and run the Macro which creates the "Output" (single digit between 0-9) and "OCR Code" (which is a concatenated value of ID1, ID2, ID3 and Output columns). Below are what these are:

1. ID1 can be anywhere from 3 digits upto 8 digits and also can start with a # or letter with a "-" as 2 character, therefore format is required in the OCR Code output.
2. ID2 is always a big number only, no characters, and prefixed with zeros to output a total of 11 digits.
3. ID3 is a mix of letters and is formatted to have an output of 5 characters.
4. Output column is generated by the code that runs in the Macro (VB) attached within the excel.
5. OCR Code - This is the final output which is a concatenated version of all the 4 columns of data.

ID1	ID2	ID3	Output	OCR Code
14368	123262891	E0473	6	0 00014368 00123262891 E0473 6
8-10704535	123214785	E0473	7	8 10704535 00123214785 E0473 7
231640	123258733	T571	3	0 00231640 00123258733 1T571 3


Below is the Macro code attached to the excel worksheet. I don't know how to convert this into T-SQL (basically SQL statements) so that it works as if I had loaded the 3 values in a table and when the SQL runs, I get the OCR Code output.

Why in 'SQL' ? you've got code you could convert to C++ just as easily, then add it as an external stored procedure as per Adding an Extended Stored Procedure to SQL Server - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs[^]

btw, this is some of the same sort of thing you'd end up doing in SQL Calculating and Verifying Check Digits in T-SQL - Simple Talk[^] - not impossible
