Recently, I wanted to find a list of all SQL Agent Jobs running on various servers. I was able to view this in SSMS, of course, but I wanted to be able to copy/paste and toss this into a spreadsheet. So instead of using SSMS, I wrote the script below, with significant help from the sysschedules entry in BOL, to show me the same information, using T-SQL. I also include a script to disable the job, because that’s just how I roll.

DECLARE @weekDay TABLE (
      mask      INT
    , maskValue VARCHAR(32)
);
�
INSERT INTO @weekDay
SELECT 1, 'Sunday'  UNION All
SELECT 2, 'Monday'  UNION All
SELECT 4, 'Tuesday'  UNION All
SELECT 8, 'Wednesday'  UNION All
SELECT 16, 'Thursday'  UNION All
SELECT 32, 'Friday'  UNION All
SELECT 64, 'Saturday';

Not sure what I’m doing with the @weekDay table? Then check out my post on bitwise operations in T-SQL.

Happy Coding!

PS: I haven’t tested this with every possible setting, just the ones I use. If I missed something, please let me know so I can correct it.

PPS: the sysjobschedules table only refreshes every 20 min, so the nextRunDate value may be a little out of date.
