@Anonymous , Open edit data transformation/edit query mode.

 

Right-click on table - Open the advance editor and check if the query is there.

 

Or check do you source there. Open the advance editor and check if the query is there.

Yes is there, Thanks

 

But, the syntax is a bit different from the SQL statement I added as there is this term #(lf) in front of several Selects and other elements.
