ScheduleEach Time Index identifies a unique schedule which is constructed using a 5-field 
pattern. If you leave field blank, the system rejects the entire pattern. The fields are 
listed below followed in parentheses by the range of valid values for that 
parameter:
Hour of Day (0-23) (Midnight=0)
Minutes (0-59)
Month of Year (1-12)
Day of Month (1-31)
Day of Week (0-6) (Sunday=0)
Keep the following guidelines in mind when constructing the values for these 
fields:
Use a single number within the allowable range.
Use an asterisk (*) to indicate all values within the given range.
The day of the month can be a list, using commas to separate the days (e.g., 
1,16,28).
The day of the week can be a range with a hyphen separating the two digits (e.g., 
1-5) or a list using commas (e.g., 1,3,5,7).
