Check the SQL statement generated from a regular X++ select statement

   SourceDocumentHeader    sourceDocumentHeader;
   
   select generateonly accountingEvent
   join sourceDocumentHeader 
       where sourceDocumentHeader.RecId == accountingEvent.SourceDocumentHeader;

   info (accountingEvent.getSQLStatement());
