When I answered this question, you’d got it tagged with SQL Server 2008. You’ve since edited it to be about Informix. The following works for SQL Server 2008.

INSERT INTO MyTable(MyField) VALUES('AAAAA' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'BBBBB')

Informix looks more complicated. You have to set an option according to this documentation I found with a google for “informix sql newline”

EXECUTE PROCEDURE IFX_ALLOW_NEWLINE('T')
