Longtable & scalebox

Question

I have a very long table which i decided to make smaller using scalebox (successfully) and also split into two pages using longtable. However, no matter how hard I try, I cannot run those two things together. I am a LaTeX beginner so, please, be patient with me.

Could you please implement longtable to my original table, while still using scalebox? Thanks a lot.

\begin{table}[H]
\centering
\def\sym#1{\ifmmode^{#1}\else\(^{#1}\)\fi}
\caption{Caption}
\scalebox{0.8}{
\begin{tabular}{l*{2}{c}}

%tablefill

\end{tabular}
}
\end{table}

Answer 1

There is no need to use \resizebox for any table, just select a suitable font size such as \small or \footnotesize so

{\small
\begin{longtable}
....
\end{longtable}
}

or equivalently

\begin{small}
    \begin{longtable}
    ....
    \end{longtable}
\end{small}
