SELECT a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID,

   AND l.EFFECTIVE_DT Between TO_DATE('01/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY')

This should work if you are looking for LEAVE_DETL_TBL records without records in EFF_LEVPOL_EVNT_TYPE, which does not sound right.

I'm thinking you want the "a" records even when there is no supporting "l" records:
SELECT a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID,

         a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD,
         a.LPET_LONG_DD, 
         Sum(l.ORIGINAL_INPUT_AM)

  FROM EFF_LEVPOL_EVNT_TYPE_TBL a, LEAVE_DETL_TBL l

 WHERE l.LEAVE_TYPE_CD(+) = a.evnt_type_cd
   AND l.INTERNAL_EMPL_ID(+) = '0000000357'
   AND l.EFFECTIVE_DT Between TO_DATE('01/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY') 
                          And TO_DATE('12/31/2001','MM/DD/YYYY')

 GROUP BY a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD;

But then the date range gives you a problem, so: SELECT a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID,

         a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD,
         a.LPET_LONG_DD, 
         Sum(decode(sign(l.EFFECTIVE_DT -
TO_DATE('01/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY'),
                  1,0,NULL,0,
                  decode(l.EFFECTIVE_DT -
TO_DATE('12/31/2001','MM/DD/YYYY'),
                        1, 0 , l.ORIGINAL_INPUT_AM
          )      )      )

  FROM EFF_LEVPOL_EVNT_TYPE_TBL a, LEAVE_DETL_TBL l  WHERE l.LEAVE_TYPE_CD(+) = a.evnt_type_cd    AND l.INTERNAL_EMPL_ID(+) = '0000000357'  GROUP BY a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD;

Nasty - or is my initial guess off base?
