i want to check in a trigger if certain columns are not left empty. The columns i have to check are stored in another table. How do i do the following

BEGIN
SELECT INTO col_record * FROM modules WHERE type_module_id = NEW.type_module_id AND is_afsluit_kolom;
        IF NOT FOUND THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'geen afsluitkolom gedefinieerd voor type_module % ', NEW.type_module_id;
        ELSE
                col_naam := col_record.kolom_naam;
                RAISE NOTICE 'kolom to check is % ', col_naam;
                --- check if afsluitrecord is empty
                IF NEW.col_naam != '' THEN
                        RETURN NEW;     
                ELSE
                        RAISE EXCEPTION 'dit record is afgesloten voor 
wijzigingen !';
                END IF;
        END IF;
END;


I want col_naam to be evaluated before used with NEW . Now i get a warning that the table the trigger is written for doesn't has a column 'col_naam'.
