declare @temp_col varchar(50)
set @temp-_col = 'employee_name' -- this going to be stored procedure parameter

select * from
master m
where m.@temp_col is not null

So everytime I can change the column name and run the same stored procedure. This just example I can't give the actual query has it is part of a big system.

Thanks for the help."

Try this

declare @temp_col varchar(50)
set @temp_col = 'employee_name'
Exec('select * from master m where m.'+@temp_col+' is not null')
