Is there any way to do a pattern search on a long datatype without writing the actual long value in to a file.

Yes, there is. There are several workarounds available. Here's one: http://www.arrowsent.com/oratip/tip23.htm.

You can make the VARCHAR2 variable longer, to contain more of the data, because now it is limited. If you work with a loop and some sort of "Offset", you can search the entire LONG column. Just thinkin'...
