Using String templates "|" Across Multiple Lines

Is there any way to use the | string operator across multiple lines?

Using the classic CONCATENATE token, you can make assignments like the following:

CONCATENATE 'A rubber duck is a toy shaped like a stylized'
            'duck, generally yellow with a flat base. It'
            'may be made of rubber or rubber-like material' 
            'such as vinyl plastic.' INTO lv_variable SEPARATED BY space.

I've not found a valid way to do something like the following:

lv_variable = |A rubber duck is a toy shaped like a stylized | &
              |duck, generally yellow with a flat base. It | &
              |may be made of rubber or rubber-like material | &
              |such as vinyl plastic.|.

Is there a way to accomplish this, or are you constrained to one line when working with the | operator?

You can do this:

data : lv_variable type string.

lv_variable = |A rubber duck is a toy shaped like a stylized| &&
              |duck, generally yellow with a flat base. It | &&
              |may be made of rubber or rubber-like material | &&
              |such as vinyl plastic.|.

write lv_variable.
