issue updating a long data type`

Yes I know that Long data types are obsolete and should not be used. I am not allowed to change it.
I have to update a table that has a long data type. This is a significant amount of data.

I tried an update and an insert from sqlplus.

ora-0072 identifier too long

When I google this, the typical error is due to a column name that is too long.

does anbyone remember how this was done? I know it is old? This is not 2 gigabytes of a data. It should easiler fit in the long column.
