It just happened to me again, and I had to look up this thread to remember
the solution (no dataset in place) why the package seemingly "didn't work".
So even though my own memory is to blame, yes I find this very confusing.
I've now added a dialog in CVS. If you click the Exec button for (or
double-click on) a function package that needs data that are not
present, you get a Yes/No dialog with the text:
"This package requires data that are not currently in place.
Would you like to open its sample script?"
