Because it does not exist in R (nor in the current version of package 
dglm).

Please do as we ask.  We asked for the output of sessionInfo(), and one 
guess is that your versions are not current and this is a problem that has 
already been solved: another is that you have attached a package that 
conflicts with dglm -- the information we asked for would have helped in 
both cases.
