Question: How To Insert New Line Characters into Strings?

Answer: If you want to break a string into multiple lines, you need to insert new line characters into the string. With some client tools like SQL Server Management Studio, it is not so easy to insert a new line character. One work around is to use the CHAR(int) function to generated new line character and other special characters with their code values:

* CHAR(9) - Generates the tab character.
* CHAR(10) - Generates the line feed (new line) character.
* CHAR(13) - Generates the carriage return character.

The tutorial examples below gives you a good example

PRINT 'Welcome to '+CHAR(10)+'GlobalGuideLine.com';
PRINT CHAR(10);
PRINT 'Current date and time is '
+CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE());
