RTB database within RTB

Greetings and TGIF

We have a "request for system services" (RSS) system that is loaded into RTB and working fine.
We want to integrate that system with the Roundtable database.
We plan on using the rtb_task.user-task-ref field to establish a relationship to the RSS system.
The programs are written and loaded into RTB. The task will not complete because the RTB
database is not in the WS.
What should I do ? Load in the RTB database into the WS ?

I know that Nathan has written the F1 software system which is basically what we're trying to do - I think.

Steve,

One thing you could do is to set the Xref level for the modules that contain
the code you are going to intgerate to 6- This Xref level allows you to
compile and generate Xref for everything except database references. There
are problems with using the RTB database if you are using Xref level 5. I
cannot remeber exactly what it is that causes the problem - I just remeber
that I have tried to load the RTB schema into RTB and had problems with Xref
5.

The other thing you may be able to do is to load the RTB schema with a
prefix - I seem to remeber someone doing this - StarBase themselves I think

Steve,

StarBase has to manually change all of the Roundtable source to reference
their database as RTBAPP and then they manage a database called RTB. That
is not an option to those of us who do not have all the source code. What I
did in F1 is create a module and directory called F1rtb and manage all code
that accesses the rtb database in that module alone. That module then as
the Xref level of 6 and therefore ignores the schema like Thomas said. It
is a drag sometimes but it allows me to manage the complete application and
still compile inside of Roundtable.

Steve you won't have to bother with any of this if you simply use F1 :^)
