I need to open and read a TXT file with comma separated for multiple columns and to insert into a table.
Any examples on this will help.

Forms 6i is a client-server architecture. As you have to put all forms onto each user's computer, one option is to install SQL*Loader onto each PC as well. Check Client software for more info (i.e. you don't have to install the whole database as Client lets you choose which utilities you'll install).

Then create a control file (which instructs the utility how to load data; you'd copy it to user's PC) and call it from a form using the HOST built-in procedure.
