Varchar truncating question

Is there any way to get oracle to automatically truncate an entry into a
varchar column if the entry is longer than the specified length?
Currently, oracle will return an error.  What I'm really looking for is
a flag to set so that oracle truncates by default instead of returning
an error.  Thanks.
