Answer 1

The problem is twofold
- You didn't read the documentation when creating the trigger, so you didn't know a trigger isn't a procedure and doesn't accept parameters
- When you got this error, you didn't read the online error manual, in order to resolve it.
You are kindly requested to do your own research prior to posting, and to avoid asking syntax questions and other questions for which you can easily find the answer yourself in the searchable documentation
