Did not work for me on sql2005. Many errors about columns that do not exist...

True. This is a SQL Server 2000 only script. Sorry it wasn't clear.

Very useful code! I get several regular requests for job schedules and this saves me having to create manual static printouts of the job schedules.
Below is a repost of the code, with a few fixes:
USE msdb
GO
/*
Microsoft doesn't provide a way to SELECT the job schedule descriptions. They do
provide a stored procedure [msdb.dbo.sp_get_schedule_description] which will return
a job schedule description for one job.
The below select statement was derived from information in that procedure, and lists
all jobs on a server with their name, description and schedule description.
*/

Brian,
Thanks very much for the fixes!

Works great in 2000. Very handy. Has anyone come up with a version that works in 2005?
Thanks
Boris
October 7, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Not that I know of. Want to take a crack at it?
October 8, 2008 at 10:14 am
My Boss just came up with a sp for 2005 which has a slightly different output but provides essentially the same results. She's MUCH better at coding then I am.
I'll forward her a link to this forum and ask her to post the procedure. It works great by BTW.
October 8, 2008 at 10:21 am
I just finished with a 2005 version, and have submitted it to SQL Server Central.
April 15, 2009 at 10:55 am
thank you for the helpful script; the original version ran fine when I tried on SQL2000, but above fixed script results in error, anyone else have this issue? Thanks...
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 24
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHEN'.
April 15, 2009 at 2:19 pm
was able to reformat above code a bit and run successfully, thanks...
January 7, 2010 at 4:42 pm
can someone explain the "freq_interval & 64 = 64"...specifically the & character. What does that do?
March 25, 2010 at 5:47 pm
can you send the link to the sql 2005 version?

Hi .. check out the
exec msdb..sp_help_schedule default,default,default,1
on SqlServer 2005
but there is a bug in sp_get_schedule_description
it delivers the wrong description for dayly jobs with a interval of n days
eg: create a schedule to run every 3 days at 12:00:00
the sp will give you every day at 12:00:00 :w00t:
i wrote this one instead by using the core of the statement above 😎 :
