During scanning, if the scanned SQL statement is used to create or modify a temp table these SQL statements are automatically executed if the Create Scanner Temp Table option in the Preferences is selected. The created Scanner Temp Tables are dropped after the Job finishes scanning.

EMP_NAME
into #a
from EMPLOYEE
select *
from #a
select EMP_ID,
