Large Text Columns in Oracle and OPO

In the manuals for Oracle I have read it is possible to define very large (30K) text columns - a possiblity which would be useful to me. However, I have also found that VarChar() tops out about 2k in OPO. Also, my previous experience with this sor to thing is that the buffer for inserting data into a column of this size peaks at a level well below the 30k water mark. So my questions are: Am I correct in my understanding that I can define columns of this size? Is there a means by which that column can be appended and read in OPO? What buffering issues would I need to address in order to insert into these columns (OPO or SQL+32)?

Thanks!
