  Thanks for the script Cowboy. It also helped show me that a job that I thought was running was not scheduled! Oops! With over 200 jobs scheduled it was hard to keep track of!:w00t:

  Cool script. I did have to make a correction/addition to avoid trying to string together a NULL in the middle of the schedule description. The case statement that would put an "s" after a freq_subday_interval greater than 1 needs a default zero-length string.

  I added this ELSE line (it's near line 150 in the original script......)

  + CASE

  WHEN msdb.dbo.sysschedules.freq_subday_interval > 1 THEN 's'

  ELSE '' -- Added default 3/21/08; John Arnott

  END

  Here's another fix. The time displays in the original script don't handle values in the first hour of the day. For instance, a job set to start at four minutes after midnight, which SQL Server records with msdb.dbo.sysschedules.active_start_time=400, gets reported as 4:00 AM. I've re-coded the three places that parse out the time values, using division by a power of ten to isolate the hour or minute portion, then a little trick with REPLICATE to left fill the minutes with a zero. This technique is not an obvious solution here, but may be handy to remember for other LZF applications.

  Here's the complete script with my modifications:

  -- Query to display schedules of jobs.

  -- copied from http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/Maintenance+and+Management/62222/

  -- posted there by "Cowboy DBA"

  -- ----------

  -- Revised 3/21/08 John Arnott

  -- added default "ELSE" to case that would put plural "S" in schedule description. (find comment " -- Added default 3/21/08; John Arnott"

  -- Revised 6/19/08 John Arnott

  -- re-coded the time parsing routines. Old code didn't handle first hour of the day (00:04, for instance).

  -- new code uses division by power of 10 to isolate hour, then minute portion of time,

  -- then a little trick with REPLICATE to left-fill the minutes with a zero if needed.

  -- added default "ELSE" to case that would put plural "S" in schedule description. (find comment " -- Added default 3/21/08; John Arnott"

  #1677817

  Thank you very much for the script CowboyDBA! I have searched for too long to try to display the same information that is in the "description" section of the Jobs Properties > Schedule List to get the information needed to tie back to schedules in SSRS 2008 R2. This was the trick.

  For those who may not know, in SSRS(native) the shared schedules are only listed in SQL Server Agent by a guid that can only be linked back to the schedule in SSRS by the time it is supposed to execute. Which if you have many jobs, can be a real pain to figure out. This has saved me from having to go RBAR with each job to find what I need.

  Again, thanks to Cowboy, that is now a thing of the past.

  Edits to show jobs that are missing schedules as well

  -- Query to display schedules of jobs.

  -- copied from http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/Maintenance+and+Management/62222/

  -- posted there by "Cowboy DBA"

  -- ----------

  -- Revised 3/21/08 John Arnott

  -- added default "ELSE" to case that would put plural "S" in schedule description. (find comment " -- Added default 3/21/08; John Arnott"

  -- Revised 6/19/08 John Arnott

  -- re-coded the time parsing routines. Old code didn't handle first hour of the day (00:04, for instance).

  -- new code uses division by power of 10 to isolate hour, then minute portion of time,

  -- then a little trick with REPLICATE to left-fill the minutes with a zero if needed.
