Need help with comparing cursor row to a collection

Question

I have been racking my brain trying to get get the code below to work properly. I am loading a table via bulk collect into a collection. I want to run code that tells me if the value of batch_REC.co_id exists or not in co.id collection. The best I have is below. The compiler does not like the MEMBER statement, and I do not know why. I am running 9i if that makes a difference. Any pointers would be extremely helpfull. Thank you.

I guess what I looking for then is a work around for 9i. Don't know if you're still watching this thread but you may be interested in this code from Steven Feuerstein (Whom God Preserve).
