I have a problem with a simulation. The error message that is displayed is as follows:

@Fernando Pleas Tag the Program you using. Probably EnergyPlus.

Just as it reads you need to specify a schedule name for the Control Scheme Schedule Name 1 . Always on Discrete schedule might work here.

Out of the Input Output Reference :

1.21.2.1.5 Field: Control Scheme <#> Schedule This alpha field contains the schedule name for the control scheme. This schedule consists of weeks and days, with the days containing “0 or 1” for each hour of the day. This binary schedule (0 for off, 1 for on) determines if the control scheme is operating for that hour of day or not. Examples of this statement in two different IDFs:
