# Important: Program page reads the page record from page {#important-program-page-reads-the-page-record-from-page}

## Description {#description}

The data processor `program-data` builds the program of a program
page from the page record. It took that record from the variable
`{data}` first, the one a `FLUIDTEMPLATE` page object
assigns, and from the page information object `{page}` of a
`PAGEVIEW` page object only when `{data}` was empty.

`PAGEVIEW`, which TYPO3 v13 offers, reserves `{page}` but not
`{data}`, so a `PAGEVIEW` site package may assign a
`{data}` of its own. A text there failed every program page with a
type error, and the records of a query were read as if they were the page
record.

The processor now takes the record from `{page}` when it is the page
information object, and from `{data}` otherwise. A value that is not
a non-empty array adds no program.

## Impact {#impact}

-   A `PAGEVIEW` site package that assigns a variable
    `{data}` of its own, a text or the records of a query for
    example, no longer breaks program pages on TYPO3 v13.
-   A `PAGEVIEW` site package that assigned another page record as
    `{data}` on purpose now gets the program of the page it renders.
-   A `FLUIDTEMPLATE` page object on TYPO3 v12 or v13 is not
    affected, also when its site package assigns a variable `{page}` of
    its own.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Installations on TYPO3 v13 with a `PAGEVIEW` page object that
assigns a variable `{data}` on program pages.
