Is there a way to dynamically control a table hint without using a dynamic sql query

Question

For example:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[procGetTable]
    (
      @SetUPDLOCK BIT,
      @RecordId BigInt
    ) 
AS

SELECT * 
FROM MYTABLE WITH (CASE WHEN @SetUPDLOCK = 1 THEN 'UPDLOCK' ELSE '' END)
WHERE MYTABLE.RecordId = @RecordId

/* P.S. I Know the above does not work it conceptual only */

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[procGetTable]
      @SetUPDLOCK BIT,
      @RecordId BigInt
AS
BEGIN
   SET NOCOUNT ON; 

    IF (@SetUPDLOCK = 1 )
      BEGIN
            SELECT * 
            FROM MYTABLE WITH (UPDLOCK)
            WHERE MYTABLE.RecordId = @RecordId
       END
    ELSE 
      BEGIN
            SELECT * 
            FROM MYTABLE
            WHERE MYTABLE.RecordId = @RecordId
       END
END

Cheers any way to do it without duplicating query statements – user1626874 Aug 09 '15 at 23:47
only other way is the dynamic sql then, here you are not duplicating the query only one of the queries will be executed. – M.Ali Aug 09 '15 at 23:50
