Repeating records for element values

Question

Hi,
Need to get element input values,i have used pay_element_entry_values table to get he screen inpout value.Used the effective date to filter,still 2 records are fetched.
E.g query
SELECT DISTINCT papf.national_identifier, papf.employee_number,
papf.full_name, paaf.payroll_id, pop.org_payment_method_name,
pap.payroll_name,
(SELECT SUM (screen_entry_value)
FROM pay_element_entry_values_f
WHERE element_entry_id(+) = pee.element_entry_id
AND pee.element_type_id = '314') basic
FROM per_all_people_f papf,
per_all_assignments_f paaf,
pay_org_payment_methods_f_tl pop,
pay_personal_payment_methods_f ppp,
pay_assignment_actions_v paa,
pay_all_payrolls_f pap, --pay_element_links_f pel,
pay_element_entries_f pee,
pay_element_types_f pet,
pay_element_entry_values_f peev
WHERE papf.person_id = paaf.person_id
AND paaf.assignment_id = ppp.assignment_id
AND ppp.org_payment_method_id = pop.org_payment_method_id
AND paaf.assignment_type = 'E'
AND paaf.effective_end_date = '31-Dec-4712'
AND paaf.assignment_id = paa.assignment_id
AND paaf.payroll_id = pap.payroll_id
AND paaf.assignment_id = pee.assignment_id
AND pet.element_type_id = pee.element_type_id
AND peev.element_entry_id(+) = pee.element_entry_id
AND paa.effective_date >=
TO_DATE ('01-' || :p_start_date,
'DD-MON-YYYY')
AND paa.effective_date <=
LAST_DAY (TO_DATE ('01-' || :p_start_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
AND peev.effective_start_date <=
TO_DATE ('01-' || :p_start_date,
'DD-MON-YYYY')
AND peev.effective_start_date <=
LAST_DAY (TO_DATE ('01-' || :p_start_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
GROUP BY papf.national_identifier,
papf.employee_number,
papf.full_name,
paaf.payroll_id,
pop.org_payment_method_name,
pap.payroll_name,
paaf.person_id,
pee.element_entry_id,
pee.element_type_id
i get one saved entry values with a null value.Please advice.

It's not completely clear what you want.
Are you talking about needing to repeat parameters in your query?
e.g.
procedure myroc (p_val1 in varchar2, p_val2 in varchar2 := null, p_val3 in varchar2 := null, p_val4 in varchar2 := null) is
-- assume at least 1 value is passed in
SELECT   DISTINCT DECODE (MD.MDFR_CODE,p_val1,NVL (MD.MDFR_CODE, 0),
                          p_val2,NVL (MD.MDFR_CODE, 0),
                          p_val3,NVL (MD.MDFR_CODE, 0),
                          p_val4,NVL (MD.MDFR_CODE, 0))             AS MDFR_CODE
  FROM   MODIFIER MD, MODIFIER_STATUS MS
WHERE       MD.MDFR_CODE IN (p_val1, coalesce(p_val2,p_val1), coalesce(p_val3,p_val1), coalesce(p_val4,p_val1))
         AND MD.MDFR_CODE = MS.MDFR_CODE
         AND MS.OPRTNL_FLAG = 'A';
