You need to initialise the variables num and sum
#!/bin/ksh
a=12346
b=`expr length $a`
echo " length : $b"
typeset -i i=1
num=0
sum=0
while (( i <= $b ))
do
((num=$(echo "${a}" | cut -c "${i}") ))
if (( i == 1 )); then
printf "$num"
else
printf "+$num"
fi
((sum=sum + num))
((i=i+2))
done
printf "=${sum}\n"

Answer
