for reference though, the format is not too difficult: it's INTO #Tablename just before the first from
SELECT
ColumnList
INTO #TMP
FROM ATable
JOIN OtherTables ON ...
UNION
SELECT columnList
FromBTable
Keep in mind, doing it this way may cause a lock on tempdb system tables for the whole duration of the query.
That's why I suggested to first create the temp table.
Tempdb is used by everyone that uses your instance !
(order by / group by / temp tb/ tb var / query set materialisation, ....)
