when i try to do this it gives me error-

declare @date varchar(20)

select @date=CONVERT(time,convert(int,'5',1))
print @date

Msg 529, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
Explicit conversion from data type int to time is not allowed.

Just convert direct from a VARCHAR value, but need to ensure it is of the correct formatting for it to convert, '5' will not convert to time.

Well how do you plan to format the INT into the required format as a VARCHAR to convert to TIME?

That is why INT cannot convert to TIME.
