PRO*C / Forms 3.0

People,

I am trying to store ASCII files larger than 65Kbytes in a LONG column using PRO*C. The PRO*C compiler limits a VARCHAR declaration to a max of 65,533 bytes. Supposedly the LONG column has a capacity of about 2 Gigs. So, how does a person get the data into the column using PRO*C?

Secondly, I am using Forms 3.0 and would like to display and edit a VARCHAR2 column via a Forms 3.0 application but am limited by a 250 charcater maximum display restriction set by Oracle. Is there any way around this?

Thanks in advance,
