Hi Neeraja,
Yes, you can save a query in one package and then move it into another package and transport the query with new package.
There are two ways...
1. You can change  the package assignment from one to another with the same request and transport the objects with request assigned to the new package.
2. You can create a new request and assign the new request to new package and transport the new request with new package assignment.
For first one, follow below process...
Changing the assignment:
       1.      Choose  Package in the toolbar of screen area Collected Objects in RSA1 --> Transport Connection.
The Select Objects for Changing package dialog box appears.
       2.      Select the objects whose package assignment you want to change.
This procedure is especially useful for changing all collected objects, or a large number of them. For this reason, all indicators are set by default. Remove the indicators for individual objects where necessary.
Note: You can only use  Details to display the details for an individual object when this is the only object that is selected.
       3.      Choose  Copy. The Change Object Directory Entry dialog box appears.
       4.      Enter the new package.
For second one, you need to add the query in the transport organiser and assign new request and transport package and then go for transport. But this will create two requests on the same query. So, don't go for this. First step is preferable.
Hope this helps u...
