On Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) ODI 12.2.1.3.0

When executing a mapping which takes data from an XML file and imports it into a MS SQL Server table for manipulation, the mapping fails with the following error during the 'Insert New Rows' task:

ODI-1298: Serial task "SERIAL-MAP_MAIN-<NAME> (50)" failed because child task "SERIAL-<NAME> (60)" is in error.
ODI-1298: Serial task "SERIAL-<NAME> (60)" failed because child task "Insert new rows-LKM SQL to SQL (Built-In)-Load <NAME> (70)" is in error.
ODI-1227: Task Insert new rows-LKM SQL to SQL (Built-In)-Load <NAME> fails on the source connection XML_Data_Connection.

The mapping reads from an XML file using "LKM SQL to SQL (Built-in)" and generates this SQL code which results in the above error:

SELECT
  <TABLE ALIAS>.<COLUMN> <COLUMN_ALIAS> ,
  <TABLE ALIAS>.<COLUMN2> <COLUMN_ALIAS2> ,
  <TABLE ALIAS>.<COLUMN3> <COLUMN_ALIAS3> ,
  <TABLE ALIAS>."VALUE" VALUE_
FROM
  <SCHEMA>.<TABLE> <TABLE_ALIAS>

The same mapping does not fail when run in 12.2.1.2.6
