I'm trying to create a trigger (5.0.45) and I've read the documentation at mysql.com. I keep getting a syntax error, but can't figure out what the error is. Here's the trigger I'm trying to create:

delimiter //
create trigger jobposts_control
 before delete on jobposts for each row
begin
   declare dummy varchar(255);
   set @counted = (
       select count(ad.adsource_id)
       from adsource ad, jobposts jp
       where ad.adsource_id = jp.adsource_id
       and old.jobpost_id = jp.jobpost_id
   );
   if @counted >= 1 then SET dummy = "Cannot delete this record" end if;
end //
delimiter ;

When I run the set query without the "and old.jobpost_id" line, it runs correctly. So the syntax problem is elsewhere, but where?

What is the exact error message?
