I think this is prepared to be run as a macro, but even then there wouldn't be a problem if macro was

Insert Into test (Id, dummy) Values (1, lcLines)

and the variable lcLines was in scope. But he wants the command (to be macro expanded) containing a string literal with a line break to work... well, that won't work.
