Expected behavior Would expect the CM dataset to be skipped if CMDTC is not present

@nickdedonder because execution errors are currently skipped, this rule would result in a skip in the report output. Is that sufficient or should something else be done to accommodate the rule authors?

[nhaydel]

If it is a common practice to skip a rule when an operator requires a variable that is not present, I believe we should handle that in a single issue with an update that applies to all operators
