Why does my quotient keep coming out to 0?

Let me start by saying the I'm a complete greenhorn when it comes to assembly. My professor seems to think it's a good idea to give us a crash course before our final but anyway. The program gets the dividend and divisor correctly but for some reason div bx
ax/bx gives me an error when I have 10 in ax and 2 in bx. Why is that.

This is driving me up the wall because I did the exact same thing I did in another program and it worked.

Have you checked that the readint and writestring procedure does not modify ax or bx, readint and writestring must have this statements if they use ax or bx:

readint PROC
push   ax
push   bx

; some code

pop    bx
pop    ax
readint ENDP

Same for writestring procedure

What kind of error do you get, run-time or assembly time?

I don't see whats wrong, but:

mov ax, 0x8000
cwd                    ; sign extended word to dword, a.e. DX=FFFF
div bx                 ; DX:AX / BX
; try XOR'ing DX to zero.
