Can you please help me resolve this issue:
I have a temp table called temp_phone_interval, when I run this query:
select max(currdate) as rpt_date, sum(ivr2q) as total_calls, sum(q2assagt+q2agt)as ans_calls, sum(q2assagt+q2agt+qabn)/sum(ivr2q) as svc_level,
sum(qabn) as abn_calls,sum(qabn)/sum(ivr2q) abn_rate from temp_phone_interval where m_menu in(1,4)
I get the following result:
rpt_date total_callsans_callssvc_levelabn_callsabn_rate
2008-01-10 00:00:00334328020
Issue : I cannot figure out why the calculation for Svc_level & abn_rate is showing zero when both the numerator and denominator have values..
Help please !!

All of your calculated values are integer. You can perform an implicit CAST like this:

select max(currdate) as rpt_date,

sum(ivr2q) as total_calls,

sum(q2assagt+q2agt) as ans_calls,

sum(q2assagt+q2agt+qabn)*1.00/sum(ivr2q) as svc_level,

sum(qabn) as abn_calls,

sum(qabn)*1.00/sum(ivr2q) abn_rate

from temp_phone_interval

where m_menu in(1,4)
