Problems in packages should be reported to the maintainer.  In this case 
my guess is that the package needs updating as origin() is an unexported 
function from package chron.  Using another package with an unrelated 
function origin() just causes errors, and is what namespaces are designed 
to avoid.

Note that packages which are Windows-only (and in this case depend on a 
non-CRAN package) do not get tested in the daily testing.

Hello R-Expert,

Recently I was using "RBloomberg" package in R-2.2.0 in Windows (XP)
machine installing the required packages. I checked one example using
blpGetData guided in corresponding help file:

conn <- blpConnect()

edb <- blpGetData(conn, "ED1 Comdty", "PX_LAST", start=chron("1/1/06"),
end=chron("1/31/06"))

I got error message as following:

The error message: Error in any (origin (chronDate)! = orig): couldn't
find function "origin".

Then I installed package "calibrate". I tried the same example ignoring
"start=chron("1/1/01")" and end=chron("1/31/06").The result was:

ED1 Comdty   PX_LAST

95.1125

But when I tried the same with "start=chron("1/1/01")" installing the
package "calibrate". I got followings catching edb:

ED1                             Comdty           PX_LAST

(02/23/06 17:53:57)                            NA

I want to get all values of PX_LAST within 1/1/01 and 1/31/06 instead of
getting NA on the date I am working.Any help regarding this is
appreciated in advance.

Thanks,

Samik Sen
