In linux iocsh seems to not support that (even if the backslash is the last character on the line):
dbLoadRecords("sis8300bpm-board.template",\
st.cmd line 31: Trailing backslash.
"P=LAB:AMC-004-4:,R=,PORT=AMC,MAX_SAMPLES=300000")
I've been trying to have multi-line statements in my startup files before, as well. I wonder what it would take to have this supported in future versions..

Is there any possibility to have multi-line statements in startup script like this:
dbLoadRecords(“myDb.db”, \ # First comment
“P=prefix, \ # Second comment
R=suffix”) # third comment
Note that AFAIK multi-line statements in other interpreters (like shells) require the newline character to appear immediately after the backslash, so your example would *not* be a multi-line statement.
