- I've got two questions about LONG fields:
-
- a) 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 !
