Hi DBA's

In a SQL statement when i try to use the like Operator against a column
of LONG data type i get the error

3DP05891> select * from xmit_msg_que_w where to_char(QUE_MSG_T) like
'%010405890%';
select * from xmit_msg_que_w where to_char(QUE_MSG_T) like '%010405890%'
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected CHAR got LONG

Could You please help me on the issue. I want to search for a pattern
