You could even make that function one line shorter (but not more
elegant) by taking advantage of the fact that when there is no
explicit return, the return value is the number zero, as follows:

function s:mygetline(a:num)
if a:num > 0 | return getline(a:num) | endif
endfunction

This assumes that when a:num is zero you want 0, not "" , to be
returned. If you do want the empty string as s:mygetline(0), replace
the condition by a:num >= 0
