How about - set up a "types" table with 250 type_id's. Then you might be able to get away with the following set based solution:

     insert into newtable
     select customer_number,
            type_id,
            (case when type_id = 1 then col001
                  when type_id = 2 then col002
     ....
             end) as sales_amount
     from oldtable o
     cross join types t
     where sales_amount is not null;
