The column titles describe the parameters that are available within the interval definition. The columns show the values that are defined for these parameters to each service interval.
When you are in the SCHDSRV view, you can enter the N command against any row (interval) to create a new scheduled service interval. A dialog requests the new interval name. You can enter up to 16 alphanumeric characters for the name (description). Use the PF3 or END key to close the dialog and create a new service interval that uses default parameters. You then enter the U command against the newly created interval to update the parameters.
The following table describes the line commands that are available from the SCHDSRV view.
