Thank you for your response.
With "said schedule" in my sentences, I mean agreed schedule or agreed time and date.
Suppose the agreed time was 2pm on 23 August, which of the following should I say?
...at the said schedule.
...on the said schedule.
...in the said schedule.
How are the above different in me

I'm sorry for my being unclear and incomplete information. I've come up with the following new example sentences.
Agreed schedule: 2pm, 23 August
We will discuss our issues at the agreed schedule.
We will discuss our issues on the agreed schedule.
We will discuss our issues in the agreed schedule.
1. Which preposition
Agreed schedule: 2pm, 23 August
We will discuss our issues at the agreed schedule.
We will discuss our issues on the agreed schedule.
We will discuss our issues in the agreed schedule.

Schedules by nature are agreed. 'Agreed' and 'said' are both odd. Use the natural phrase I have given you: 'on schedule'.

Thank you, Mister Micawber.
I would use it, then, as follows:
We will discuss our issues on schedule.
I thought up another possibility, but I'm not sure if it's correct. Is this correct?
We will discuss our issues as scheduled.

Thank you very much. Now I know which are the natural expressions.

Honestly, they are all so awkward that no preposition seems right.
I'm looking forward to meeting you then.
