Setting ISNULL in a variable settings

Hello,
I have a variable setting like this:

DECLARE @BrokerCommissionPercNew FLOAT

SELECT @BrokerCommissionPercNew = BrokerCommissionPerc
FROM dbo.Policy WHERE IdQuotation = (SELECT TOP (1) IdQuotationOwner FROM dbo.Quotation where IdQuotation = @IdQuotation ORDER BY InsDate)

How can I change it in case I obtain NULL inside, and I'd like to set
@BrokerCommissionPercNew = 0 ?

Thank you in advance.

Luis

Put this after the select:
SET @BrokerCommissionPercNew = ISNULL(@BrokerCommissionPercNew,0)
The above will make it a 0 in both the cases: 1. the where condition is false 2.where condition is true but the column value is null..so make sure this is what you are looking for
