Xpath, xquery, i recommend you to read something about these technology. @ is used to access attribute in xml elment

select extract(xmltype('<INSURANCE_HISTORY active_ind="Y" call_status="A"/>'),'/INSURANCE_HISTORY/@active_ind')  active_ind
, extract(xmltype('<INSURANCE_HISTORY active_ind="Y" call_status="A"/>'),'/INSURANCE_HISTORY/@call_status') call_status
