I've tried to use DELIMITER but it isn´t works, please help me , thanks

Answer 1

My answer is based only on the necessity of your question which is declaration of the variable.. if the Delimiter doesn't do the trick maybe its an error in your syntax because you didn't SET your SELECT query in a variable. try this first.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE
TRIGGER `proximo_pago` BEFORE INSERT
on `pago`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE num_orden int;
SET num_orden = select max(orden) from pago where lote=NEW.lote;
if(num_orden is NULL)
then
set NEW.orden=1;
else
set NEW.orden=num_orden+1;
end if;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
