My guess is that you are having this problem because you are executing a
query referring to NEW rather than using it directly.
I don't think you can refer to NEW in a command string given to
EXECUTE. You probably need to set up an IF...ELSIF...ELSE...END IF
structure to get the value to put into the command string.
