Long text could be used in sapscript, you create it with the transaction SO10.

Long text could be used in a lot of standard SAP transaction to store informations. For example VL02N, VA02, CO02 .......

Long text could be used to store anything.

The text are save in the tables : STXH (header) STXL (text). The second table is cluster table, so you can't access directly, you must use the function READ_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT ....

One of the example where you use a Long text is say when your company is creating a Sales order for a specific customer.

Say one of the Govermnet agency is your customer. So for such customer say if you want to treat differently. Then you can use Long text to send internal communication to the sales user who is creating a sales order.

So the moment the sales user creates a sales order for that govermnet customer the long text will be determinied or displayed as a pop up. This will help the sales user to come to know that the customer is a special customer and needs to be treated specially.

Cheers
