I would guess that it's a matter of preference but I never like to
RETURN in the middle of a function. I think keeping this philosophy
forces modularity and keeps my functions small which hopefully increases
their re-use. With smaller (shorter) functions, it also keeps the
indentation to a minimum. Yes, I do end up with many more
methods/functions though.
The way you combined the commands, you've already decreased the number
of indentations compared to the way that I wrote it out, which is a
plus. Dominic's CASE .. ENDCASE decreases the indentation levels as well.
Thanks.

Personally I find it easiest to check parameters first and get out if
necessary and then follow with the heart of the function. This clearly
separates the two steps and the meat of the function is cleaner and
easier to follow.
FUNCTION MyFunction(tcSomething AS String) AS String
LOCAL lcRetVal
lcRetVal = []
IF PCOUNT() = 0 OR VARTYPE(tcSomething) # "C"
RETURN lcRetVal
ENDIF
*Now the real meat of the function is not tabbed way over for nothing.
RETURN lcRetVal
ENDFUNC
