Updated Code 
#!/bin/sh
#Sum of all digits in a number

num=12334
tot=0
mod=0
echo "Number = $num"
while [ $num -gt 0 ]
   do
      mod=$(expr $num % 10)
      tot=$(expr $tot + $mod)
      num=$(expr $num / 10)
   done
echo "Sum= $tot"

$ ./sumofdig.sh
Number = 12334
Sum= 13

Another alternative using sed: 

$ expr $(echo "12334" | sed -e 's/[0-9]/ + &/g' -e 's/^ +//g')
13

Breakdown steps: 

$ echo "12334"
12334

$ echo "12334" | sed 's/[0-9]/ + &/g'
 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4

$ echo "12334" | sed -e 's/[0-9]/ + &/g' -e 's/^ +//g'
 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4

$ expr $(echo "12334" | sed -e 's/[0-9]/ + &/g' -e 's/^ +//g')
