I doubt you'll be able to do so in a straight way. I would try to use some imaginative ways, like define an addition internal table with the key fields of your query, and a "long string" field, where I'll add the returned rows.
Or something like that. if you know the max number of rows this kind of join will return, add that number times the fields needed (parvw1, parnr1, parvw2, parnr2....) and use a LOOP to populate it.
