create SPROC stub for ALTER PROC.sql

USE [MyAppDatabase]
GO
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE type = 'P' AND OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID('dbo.spAppUserSave'))
    EXEC('CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spAppUserSave] AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; /* invalid empty SPROC */ END')
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
-- Author: Chris Tracy
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spAppUserSave]
  @CurrentUser NVARCHAR(MAX),
  @UserId BIGINT
  -- ...
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT OFF;
    -- do real SPROC work here
END
GO

I've had to re-create the top IF .. EXISTS ... EXEC('CREATE PROC..' many times (when I wipe my computer, or change jobs). The rest is just template for basic syntax.
