I always use this IQD, where DBNAME is the database name specified in cognos.ini. Your query is placed between brackets and after the sql you can specify the column names as they appear in Transformer.


COGNOS QUERY
STRUCTURE,1,1
DATABASE,DBNAME
TITLE,Report6
BEGIN SQL
{select
   columnA,
   columnB,
   columnC
from
   table
where columnA > 0
}
END SQL
COLUMN,0,Column A
COLUMN,1,Column B
COLUMN,2,Column C
