*= (Multiplication Assignment) (Transact-SQL)

[!INCLUDE sql-asdb-asdbmi-asa-pdw-fabricse-fabricdw-fabricsqldb]

Multiplies two numbers and sets a value to the result of the operation. For example, if a variable @x equals 35, then @x *= 2 takes the original value of @x, multiplies by 2 and sets @x to that new value (70).
