Unknown column error in procedure with if statement - mysql

Question

When I call this stored procedure it shows error: unknown column...
BEGIN
if (
`LastRow.Transaction`=4 and `LastRow.Xre`>1)
then
SELECT
sleep(2);
END if;
end
Please note that sleep(2) is just to demonstrate to do something if condition is true. What would be the proper way to accomplish a test based on value of a specific record? In the above example the table (actually a View) has only one row.

Q: What would be the proper way to accomplish a test based on value of a specific record?
If you mean, based on values in columns stored in one row of a table... it seems like we would need a query that references the table that retrieve the values stored in the row. And then we can have those values available in the procedure.
As an example
BEGIN
-- local procedure variables, specify appropriate datatypes
DECLARE lr_transaction BIGINT DEFAULT NULL;
DECLARE lr_xre BIGINT DEFAULT NULL;
-- retrieve values from columns into local procedure variables
SELECT `LastRow`.`Transaction`
, `LastRow`.`Xre`
INTO lr_transaction
, lr_xre
FROM `LastRow`
WHERE someconditions
ORDER BY someexpressions
LIMIT 1
;
IF ( lr_transaction = 4 AND lr_xre > 1 ) THEN
-- do something
END IF;
END$$
That's an example of how we can retrieve a row from a table, and do some check. We could also do the check with SQL and just return a boolean
BEGIN
-- local procedure variables, specify appropriate datatypes
DECLARE lb_check TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED DEFAULT 0;
-- retrieve values from columns into local procedure variables
SELECT IF(`LastRow`.`Transaction` = 4 AND `LastRow`.`Xre` > 1,1,0)
INTO lb_check
FROM `LastRow`
WHERE someconditions
ORDER BY someexpressions
LIMIT 1
;
IF ( lb_check ) THEN
-- do something
END IF;
END$$
