The spaces at the end of each line of the SQL doesn not work with DB2 7.2

<!-- Create table DDL -->
<attribute name="CreateTableDdl">
create table HILOSEQUENCES (
SEQUENCENAME varchar(50) not null,
HIGHVALUES integer not null,
constraint hilo_pk primary key (SEQUENCENAME)
)
</attribute>

The following error occurs on server startup:

Going through the db2 reference says:
db2 => ? sql0007

SQL0007N The character "<character>" following "<text>" is
not valid.

Explanation: The specified "<character>" is not a valid
character in SQL statements. The "<text>" field indicates the 20
characters of the SQL statement that preceded the character that
is not valid.

Hence I am wrapping up the SQL in a single line.
However this problem does not exist with DB2 8.0
