Help!! Can't call procedure.

I've created a public procedure called generate_id( in varchar2, out varchar2 ).

The procedure is owned by user tdadmin, but I granted execute by saying:

> grant execute on procedure generate_id to public;

I have also created a trigger that calls this procedure, like so:

> create or replace
> TRIGGER create_tcid
> BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF ts_user_01
> ON test
> FOR EACH ROW
> declare
> id varchar2(20);
> begin
> tdadmin.generate_id( 'test', id );
> :new.ts_user_01 := id;
> end;

However, whenever I attempt an insert, I am faced with the following message:

> ORA-04044: procedure, function, package, or type is not allowed here
> ORA-06512: at "TDADMIN.GENERATE_ID", line 12
> ORA-06512: at "FORLANODB.CREATE_TCID", line 4
> ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'FORLANODB.CREATE_TCID'

What have I done wrong?

Thanks,

Chris
