Then try a different method COMMA_TO_TABLE and/or str2tab come to mind as search keywords.

The chances of someone else still having a de-supported for years 8i installed somewhere are pretty slim, so you are the the only one who can test the different methods.

Also "wontwork" is not an Oracle error message.

Post a Test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data.

Use SQL*Plus and copy and paste what you tried.

Before please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code (See SQL Formatter), use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version (4 decimals).

Regards
Michel

Wait... The values ARE already in different columns? (Which would have been better visible, if you had formatted your post)

Then why don't you just do a

select col1 from table
union all
select col2 from table
union all
select col3 from table
union all
select col4 from table
union all
select col5 from table
union all
select col6 from table
