EXISTS hexadecimal column inside built-in SELECT statement

Question

EXISTS hexadecimal column inside built-in SELECT statement

Is it possible to verify the existence of a column inside an inline operator? Note that this is not a duplicate of the general question, "How to check if a column exists." This refers to a possible INLINE solution.

Is there a way to do this, but since it needs to be written for the BCP [out] command, I can’t use SP, and the compatibility must match MSSQL 2000.

Could there be something similar to the following:

SELECT
[col1],
[col2],
CASE
   WHEN (SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Table'  AND COLUMN_NAME = 'col3') = 1
   THEN [col3]
   ELSE null
END
FROM [MyDb].[dbo].[Table]

or a sub-query method like this ....

    SELECT
    [col1],
    [col2],
SELECT(if exists (SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Table' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'col3') BEGIN SELECT [col3]...
