Salam - "Loop mode" usually refers to invoking the command line client as
        'dsmc LOOP', or more simply, 'dsmc', which is to say Interactive Mode.
Most likely, this message resulted because the client schedule was defined
in the server without operands to make it a useful schedule.  Review your
client schedule definition in the server according to the action that you
really want it to perform, and use Update Schedule to adjust.
