Greetings,
I am relatively new to forms and trying to learn as quickly as possible. But I have run into a roadblock trying to learn triggers.

I have a program, but when I run the program to create a WHEN_VALIDATE_ITEM trigger, I get a ERROR 201 - need to declare the identifier, which in this case is "products"

I am including the entire program as I have listed in my textbook
Any assistance in helping me to complete this, is greatly appreciated.

DECLARE
   NumberOfProducts     NUMBER

BEGIN
  SELECT count(*)
  INTO NumberOfProducts
  FROM products
  WHERE products.MemberID = :members.MemberID;

  IF NumberOfProducts = 0 THEN
    IF :members.salary NOT BETWEEN 10000 AND 75000 THEN
       message ('With no products, salary must be 10K-75K');
       RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
    END IF;
  ELSE
    IF :members.salary NOT BETWEEN 20000 AND 85000 THEN
       message ('With products, salary must be 20K-85K');
       RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
    END IF;
  END IF;
END;

The table 'products' must exist in the database to which you are attached. Either the table does not exist or you have not signed on to a user that has access to it.

DECLARE
NumberOfProducts NUMBER

BEGIN
begin
SELECT count(*)
INTO NumberOfProducts
FROM products
WHERE products.MemberID = :members.MemberID;
exception when others then NumberOfProducts:=0;
end;

IF NumberOfProducts = 0 THEN
IF :members.salary NOT BETWEEN 10000 AND 75000 THEN
message ('With no products, salary must be 10K-75K');
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
ELSE
IF :members.salary NOT BETWEEN 20000 AND 85000 THEN
