Question about LONG-fields

I've got two questions about LONG fields:

1. Is it possible to copy a long field from one table into another? Example:

 	UPDATE TABLE1 SET TABLE1.LONGFIELD =
		( SELECT TABLE2.LONGFIELD FROM TABLE2
		  WHERE TABLE1.KEY = TABLE2.KEY )



	--> ORA-00997 Illegal use of LONG datatype.



 b)  Is it possible to display a long field with more than one line
     in an SQL*FORMS30 form?

     The pop-up editor is not what I want, because it is dynamic, has
     to be shown and removed. I want several static lines shown.
  

Please respond directly to me by e-mail.

Thanks in advance !
