Hey all,

The subject says it all.  In 8.1.7, can I:

        CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER my_trigger
        BEFORE UPDATE ON my_table
        FOR EACH ROW
        WHEN (my_function = 'SOME VALUE')
        BEGIN
                blah....
        END my_trigger;

Everytime I try to compile this, I get an "ORA-4076: invalid NEW or OLD
specification".  But I can specify a builtin function, e.g.:

        WHEN (SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','HOST') = 'MYHOST')

I've RTFM'd and tried Metalink as well, but I haven't been able to find
anything that says I can't use a user-defined function here.

Anyone?
