Different strokes for different folks so don't take the below as a criticism, just some of us have different coding styles so if you are like me and prefer for nested Conditions (i.e. the Case nesting) to be laid out in visual manner represenatative of thier nesting level and or use of Convert() iunstead of CAST() then the below is the re-formatted version of Mathias's code.Again this is just a difference in style.[code="sql"]SELECT S.Schedule_ID, S.Schedule_uID, S.[name], S.Enabled, S.Freq_Type, S.Freq_Interval, S.Freq_Subday_Type, S.Freq_Subday_Interval, S.Freq_relative_Interval, S.Freq_recurrence_Factor, S.Active_Start_Date, S.Active_End_Date, S.Active_Start_Time, S.Active_End_Time, S.Date_Created, Case WHEN S.Freq_Type = 0x1 THEN 'Once on ' + Convert( CHAR(10), Convert(DATETIME,Convert(VARCHAR,S.Active_Start_Date), 102) ) WHEN S.Freq_Type = 0x4 AND S.Freq_Interval &gt; 0 THEN Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval &gt; 1 THEN 'Every ' + Convert(VARCHAR,S.Freq_Interval) + ' days' ELSE 'Every day' END WHEN S.Freq_Type = 0x8 THEN Case WHEN S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor = 1 THEN 'Weekly on ' WHEN S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor &gt; 1 THEN 'Every ' + Convert(VARCHAR,S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor) + ' weeks on ' END + Left( Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 1 = 1 THEN 'Sunday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 2 = 2 THEN 'Monday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 4 = 4 THEN 'Tuesday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 8 = 8 THEN 'Wednesday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 16 = 16 THEN 'Thursday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 32 = 32 THEN 'Friday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 64 = 64 THEN 'Saturday, ' ELSE '' END, LEN ( Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 1 = 1 THEN 'Sunday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 2 = 2 THEN 'Monday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 4 = 4 THEN 'Tuesday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 8 = 8 THEN 'Wednesday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 16 = 16 THEN 'Thursday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 32 = 32 THEN 'Friday, ' ELSE '' END + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval & 64 = 64 THEN 'Saturday, ' ELSE '' END ) - 1 ) WHEN S.Freq_Type = 0x10 THEN Case WHEN S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor = 1 THEN 'Monthly on the ' WHEN S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor &gt; 1 THEN 'Every ' + Convert(VARCHAR,S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor) + ' months on the ' END + Convert(VARCHAR,S.Freq_Interval) + Case WHEN S.Freq_Interval IN(1, 21, 31) THEN 'st' WHEN S.Freq_Interval IN(2, 22) THEN 'nd' WHEN S.Freq_Interval IN(3, 23) THEN 'rd' ELSE 'th' END WHEN S.Freq_Type = 0x20 THEN Case WHEN S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor = 1 THEN 'Monthly on the ' WHEN S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor &gt; 1 THEN 'Every ' + Convert(VARCHAR,S.Freq_Recurrence_Factor) + ' months on the ' END + Case S.Freq_relative_interval WHEN 0x01 THEN 'first ' WHEN 0x02 THEN 'second ' WHEN 0x04 THEN 'third ' WHEN 0x08 THEN 'fourth ' WHEN 0x10 THEN 'last ' END + Case S.Freq_Interval WHEN 1 THEN 'Sunday' WHEN 2 THEN 'Monday' WHEN 3 THEN 'Tuesday' WHEN 4 THEN 'Wednesday' WHEN 5 THEN 'Thursday' WHEN 6 THEN 'Friday' WHEN 7 THEN 'Saturday' WHEN 8 THEN 'day' WHEN 9 THEN 'week day' WHEN 10 THEN 'weekend day' END WHEN S.Freq_Type = 0x40 THEN 'Automatically starts When SQLServerAgent starts.'
