I am using the following Statment and want to limit the lenght of the "Title" Field on the Insert.
INSERT INTO PRIMUS_TEMP_DUMP (solution_id,Title
SELECT pc_solution_id, pc_title FROM pt_solution)
Does anyone know how to do this?

Altering the actual insert statement (by adding substr) would be one approach:
INSERT INTO PRIMUS_TEMP_DUMP (solution_id, title)
SELECT pc_solution_id, substr(pc_title, 1, 30) FROM pt_solution;
Another would be a trigger (which would apply to all DML statements against the table):
create or replace trigger trg_name
before insert or update to primus_temp_dump
for each row
begin
:new.title := substr(:new.title, 1, 30);
end;

INSERT INTO PRIMUS_TEMP_DUMP (solution_id,Title) as
SELECT pc_solution_id, pc_title FROM pt_solution
