Brian,
To follow up on your suggestion about GenDBC: I changed the logic as you suggested and still got the same problem. But my thanks to you anyway as it put my onto the correct path to fix the problem. The place in the GETRI function where it actually creates the MAKERI function is preceded by a line

LOCATE FOR ObjectType = "Relation" AND !EMPTY(RiInfo)

If found, the logic creates the MAKERI function. In my instance, although I have relations set up, none of them have the RiInfo field filled in. As a result, the MAKERI never gets created. To solve the problem I changed the line of code to read

LOCATE FOR ObjectType = "Relation" && AND !EMPTY(RiInfo)

to comment out the requirement for the RiInfo to be filled in. And Voila! It works like a champ.

Thanks again for your help. I would not have found my problem without it.
