I'm sure there's a simple way to do it, I just haven't run into it yet:
I just want to duplicate a table record (row) using a stored procedure.

The solution depends on exactly what you mean by 'duplicate'. Hopefully,
the following will get you started:

CREATE TABLE MyTable1
(
Col1 INT NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT PK_MyTable1
PRIMARY KEY
)

CREATE TABLE MyTable2
(
Col1 INT NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT PK_MyTable2
PRIMARY KEY
)

INSERT INTO MyTable1 VALUES(1)
INSERT INTO MyTable1 VALUES(2)
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE CopyRow
@Col1 int
AS
INSERT INTO MyTable2
SELECT Col1 FROM MyTable1
WHERE Col1 = @Col1
GO

EXEC CopyRow 1

What do you mean by "duplicate a row"? Normally we aim to avoid duplicating
data in a database but here are two examples taken from Pubs.

Iinsert a duplicate of a row into a table:

INSERT INTO Authors
(au_id, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state,
zip, contract, total_sales, ytd_sales)
SELECT <new PK value>, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state,
zip, contract, total_sales, ytd_sales
FROM Authors
WHERE au_id = '172-32-1176'

Return duplicates of a single row:

SELECT au_id, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state,
zip, contract, total_sales, ytd_sales
FROM Authors
CROSS JOIN (SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1) AS T(x)
WHERE au_id = '172-32-1176'

Neither of these examples serves much of a useful purpose but HTH.

You can use the INSERT COMMAND for two times to get the duplicate
records in your table, but be sure that there is no unique contrauint
on that table.
