I'd rather look for single/double quotes in the string.
Looks like the SQL parser getting out of phase.

I am not allowed to change some long data types to clobs. I asked
and was told no. This is pretty old, so when I google it I don't see
much. I have a table with a long and I need to update that field
(I also tried inserting the record into a test table). It appears
that the data I have to update or insert is over 4k and when I do it
I get: ora-00972 identifier too long. When I google that error,
it is normally if your column name is too long. How did people put
large amounts of data into longs? I have not used them in years. I
made a test table and tried to insert it and got the same error. DB
Version: 10.1.0.3. Also tried it in an 11.1.0.7 DB.
