if there's no records, then what will you update? or do you want to insert in that case?

if yes, this is what you want


UPDATE 
ctlServiceLevel
SET
DATABASENAME = 'COMMON',
DATE = '09/01/2009',
LASTSL = 87.88 

IF @@ROWCOUNT=0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ctlServiceLevel(DATABASENAME,DATE ,LASTSL)
VALUES ('COMMON','09/01/2009',87.88 )
END
