I have a stored procedure that outputs things in an array.
['Clean', new Date (2019,06,03,05,02,22,113), new Date (2019,06,03,06,29,24,397)], ['Extracts', new Date (2019,06,02,23,00,44,703), new Date (2019,06,03,05,02,10,883)], ['Stats Driver', new Date (2019,06,04,05,00,16,820), new Date (2019,06,03,07,16,50,450)], ['Transforms', new Date (2019,06,03,06,29,37,327), new Date (2019,06,03,08,11,14,200)]
I use ON TABLE HOLD to hold the table and then put it into javascript with !IBI.FIL. You would expect the output to be the same as what is shown above, but instead I get: R U V ] Y W Z ) This output seems almost completely random.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ccollier,

How do you create your HOLD file ?
How do you expect to see the data ? As one string per row ? Different field based on comma ?
Have you took a look at the HOLD file output ? What is the result ?
Please use the code tag when providing sample result/code. Last icon on the ribbon:

Creating my HOLD file I type
TABLE FILE tablename
BY data
ON TABLE HOLD AS holdname
END
The data should be shown exactly as before.
['Clean', new Date (2019,06,03,05,02,22,113), new Date (2019,06,03,06,29,24,397)],
['Extracts', new Date (2019,06,02,23,00,44,703), new Date (2019,06,03,05,02,10,883)],
['Stats Driver', new Date (2019,06,04,05,00,16,820), new Date (2019,06,03,07,16,50,450)],
['Transforms', new Date (2019,06,03,06,29,37,327), new Date (2019,06,03,08,11,14,200)]
When checking the output of the hold file, it's exactly as it should be, but when looking at the !IBI.FIL output I get that random string.

So, as per your sample, you should have 4 rows and 1 field per row such as this ?
row 1 : ['Clean', new Date (2019,06,03,05,02,22,113), new Date (2019,06,03,06,29,24,397)]
row 2 : ['Extracts', new Date (2019,06,02,23,00,44,703), new Date (2019,06,03,05,02,10,883)]
row 3 : ['Stats Driver', new Date (2019,06,04,05,00,16,820), new Date (2019,06,03,07,16,50,450)]
row 4 : ['Transforms', new Date (2019,06,03,06,29,37,327), new Date (2019,06,03,08,11,14,200)]
I suspect that js is transforming/processing the brackets, quotes and/or coma other than just text string

You need the name of the hold file included:
TABLE FILE tablename
BY data
ON TABLE HOLD AS holdname
END
-HTMLFORM BEGIN NOEVAL
!IBI.FIL.holdname;
-HTMLFORM END

A couple of things.
What is the format of the data field ?
When you do BY with no verb, be careful of what gets held, check the output, i.e. the hold master, to see what is in the hold file.
Is the field a variable length field ?
Perhaps use a SAVE instead of a HOLD.

After working with someone else, we fixed the problem.
DEFINE FILE DATA
VALUE/A300 = '' || VALUE
END
TABLE FILE DATA
PRINT VALUE
ON TABLE HOLD AS CHART FORMAT ALPHA
END
Adding these extra lines of code and using !IBI.FIL.CHART seemed to fix the problems and output the data properly.
