simple trigger/procedure problem for oracle apex sql

Question

im trying to run this audit trail trigger in oracle apex sql but i keep getting the same error and i dont know what im doing wrong. also i need to do this same trigger to every table in my database... is there a way i can do the same thing through a procedure so as to only having to do it once?

create or replace TRIGGER AUDIT_TRAIL_USERS_TRIG
  -- starts on every update, insert or delete command
  AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON USERS
  FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
  -- variable which declares if update, delete or insert process
  v_trg_action varchar2(10);
BEGIN
  IF updating  THEN
    -- when update
    v_trg_action := 'UPDATE';
  ELSIF deleting  THEN
    -- when delete
    v_trg_action := 'DELETE';
  ELSIF inserting  THEN
    -- when insert
    v_trg_action := 'INSERT';
  ELSE
    -- if something else
  END IF;
  IF v_trg_action IN ('DELETE','UPDATE','INSERT') THEN
      -- if v_trg_action is DELETE, UPDATE OR INSERT then insert old table values
   INSERT INTO AUDIT_TRAIL
  ( AUDIT_USER,  AUDIT_DATE,  AUDIT_ACTION)
   VALUES
  (UPPER(v('APP_USER')), SYSDATE, v_trg_action);
  ELSE
  END IF;
  -- about the insert command on the audit table
  -- for current apex user: v('APP_USER')
  -- for date: SYSDATE
  -- for sql command: v_trg_action   
END AUDIT_TRAIL_USERS_TRIG;

the error im getting (im sure i have more than what its saying to me)is as follows:

Compilation failed, line 16 (03:29:53) The line numbers associated with compilation errors are relative to the first BEGIN statement. This only affects the compilation of database triggers.

IF..ELSE blocks cannot be left empty. If you don't need them remove it, I have added a dummy NULL call for the code to compile.Add appropriate logic as desired, otherwise remove the block.

create or replace TRIGGER AUDIT_TRAIL_USERS_TRIG
  -- starts on every update, insert or delete command
  AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON USERS
  FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
  -- variable which declares if update, delete or insert process
  v_trg_action varchar2(10);
BEGIN
  IF updating  THEN
    -- when update
    v_trg_action := 'UPDATE';
  ELSIF deleting  THEN
    -- when delete
    v_trg_action := 'DELETE';
  ELSIF inserting  THEN
    -- when insert
    v_trg_action := 'INSERT';
  ELSE
    -- if something else
    NULL;
  END IF;
  IF v_trg_action IN ('DELETE','UPDATE','INSERT') THEN
      -- if v_trg_action is DELETE, UPDATE OR INSERT then insert old table values
   INSERT INTO AUDIT_TRAIL
  ( AUDIT_USER,  AUDIT_DATE,  AUDIT_ACTION)
   VALUES
  (UPPER(v('APP_USER')), SYSDATE, v_trg_action);

  null;
  ELSE
   NULL;
  END IF;
  -- about the insert command on the audit table
  -- for current apex user: v('APP_USER')
  -- for date: SYSDATE
  -- for sql command: v_trg_action   
END AUDIT_TRAIL_USERS_TRIG;
