Try:
:map <macrosequence> :s/.*/&&/^V^M

The ^V^M is a control-V followed by a return, to get the return into the
mapping. Note: this does not do exactly the same as YPJ; *that* inserts
a space between the original contents and the newly appended characters.
To get the same effect with this mapping, add a space between the two
ampersands ('&').
