3.4 Line Continuation
It is possible to specify an environment variable over more than one line by
using the line continuation character \ (back slash).
Example:
ASMOPTIONS=\
-W2 \
-WmsgNe=10
This is the same as
ASMOPTIONS=-W2 -WmsgNe=10
Observe the following when using the continuation character in path
definitions:
GENPATH=.\
TEXTFILE=.\txt
Will result in
GENPATH=.TEXTFILE=.\txt
To avoid syntax errors, use a semicolon (;) at the end of a path if there is a \ at
the end of the code line, such as:
GENPATH=.\;
TEXTFILE=.\txt
