Try this. I know this example is redundant but it does what I think you described.

ljunkvar = .T. &&Or .f., it doesn't matter, but needs to be set first before the select statement.
SELECT junk(myyear) leaper, IIF(!EMPTY(m.ljunkvar), 'Yes', 'No ') leaper2 FROM table1 nowa
FUNCTION junk(tnyear)
IF TYPE('ljunkvar') != 'U'
RELEASE ljunkvar
PUBLIC ljunkvar
ENDIF
ljunkvar = MONTH(DATE(tnYear,2,28) + 1 ) = 2 &&Calculation to test for leap year. Returns a logical value.
RETURN ljunkvar

table1 contains only a single integer column with five records containing the 4-digit years of 1999 thru 2003.
