If you are considering creating a function, try this: DECLARE @schema sysname = 'dbo' , @tablename sysname = 'mvtEST' , @cmd NVarchar(2000) , @ColName sysname

    DECLARE @NewLine Table
    (ColumnName Varchar(100)
    ,Location Int
    ,ColumnValue Varchar(8000)
    )

    SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE  TABLE_SCHEMA = @schema AND TABLE_NAME =  @tablename AND DATA_TYPE LIKE '%CHAR%'

    DECLARE looper CURSOR FAST_FORWARD for
    SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = @schema AND TABLE_NAME =  @tablename AND DATA_TYPE LIKE '%CHAR%'
    OPEN looper
    FETCH NEXT FROM looper INTO @ColName

    WHILE @@fetch_status = 0
    BEGIN
    SELECT @cmd = 'select ''' +@ColName+    ''',  CHARINDEX(Char(10),  '+  @ColName +') , '+ @ColName + ' from '+@schema + '.'+@tablename +' where CHARINDEX(Char(10),  '+  @ColName +' ) > 0 or CHARINDEX(CHAR(13), '+@ColName +') > 0'
    PRINT @cmd
    INSERT @NewLine ( ColumnName, Location, ColumnValue )
    EXEC sp_executesql @cmd
    FETCH NEXT FROM looper INTO @ColName
    end
    CLOSE looper
    DEALLOCATE looper


    SELECT * FROM  @NewLine
