If shell continuation works, the program will see exactly the same
as with a long line. Make sure you do not have anything on the line=20
after the backslash.=20

There might be a problem with parsing spaces and tabs in the module
if the above does not solve the problem.

For illustration see the following tests:

$ echo $BASH_VERSION=20
2.03.0(1)-release

$ echo bla bla bla | od -tcx
0000000   b   l   a       b   l   a       b   l   a  \n
        20616c62 20616c62 0a616c62
0000014

bernhard@abnoba:~$ echo bla bla\             =20
>  bla | od -tcx
0000000   b   l   a       b   l   a       b   l   a  \n
        20616c62 20616c62 0a616c62
0000014
bernhard@abnoba:~$ echo bla bla \           =20
> bla | od -tcx
0000000   b   l   a       b   l   a       b   l   a  \n
        20616c62 20616c62 0a616c62
