Ed,
Perhaps you could use the DBMS_SQL Define_Column_Long and Column_Value_Long
procedures to manipulate the Long?
Converting the Long to a LOB using To_LOB function, then manipulating it
with the DBMS_LOB package might do, too.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
How do you determine the size, in bytes, of a long field?
Please. No tape measure jokes.
