Question : Set variable

Good morning,
Im trying to set a variable which can be used in following SQL statments, but the line I thought would work, gives me errors.

I thought the line "set @tmpPriID = select uuid();", would assign a uuid to the variable @tmpPriID, where I can use it in multiple select statments after, and then call it again to generate a new value to @tmpPriID.

However when I try and execute "set @tmpPriID = select uuid();", I get an error 1064(42000) you have an error in your SQL syntax;.

Any ideas what Im doing wrong?

Thank you
