Replacing NULL with 0 in a SQL server query

Question

I have developed a query, and in the results for the first three columns I get NULL. How can I replace it with 0?

  Select c.rund

Add an else to your case statements so that they default to zero if the test condition is not found. At the moment if the test condition isn't found NULL is being passed to the SUM() function.

  Select c.rundate, 
    sum(case when c.runstatus = 'Succeeded' then 1 else 0 end) as Succeeded, 
    sum(case when c.runstatus = 'Failed' then 1 else 0 end) as Failed, 
    sum(case when c.runstatus = 'Cancelled' then 1 else 0 end) as Cancelled, 
    count(*) as Totalrun from
    (    Select a.name,case when b.run_status=0 Then 'Failed' when b.run_status=1 Then 'Succeeded'
    when b.run_status=2 Then 'Retry' Else 'Cancelled' End as Runstatus,
    ---cast(run_date as datetime)
                cast(substring(convert(varchar(8),run_date),1,4)+'/'+substring(convert(varchar(8),run_date),5,2)+'/'          +substring(convert(varchar(8),run_date),7,2) as Datetime) as RunDate
    from msdb.dbo.sysjobs as a(nolock) inner join msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory as b(nolock) 
    on a.job_id=b.job_id
    where a.name='AI'
    and b.step_id=0) as c
    group by 
    c.rundate
