Question : SQL DateTime Format issue

Why is when I use my code below, my ApptTime comes out like 09:00:00, yet when I use SELECT CONVERT(varchar(5), GETDATE(), 108) I get 11:57?

I want to return only the hh:mm and leave off the :ss. I don't care about the seconds, only the hh and mm.

	LEFT JOIN doctorfacility fac ON a.facilityID = fac.doctorfacilityID
	LEFT JOIN appttype apt ON a.appttypeID = apt.appttypeID
	LEFT JOIN medlists aps ON a.apptStatusMID = aps.medlistsID
WHERE
	a.OwnerId = '48'

Answer : SQL DateTime Format issue

Than why don't you change it
From:
ISNULL(Convert(VarChar(20), a.ApptStart, 108),'')as ApptTime,

To:
ISNULL(Convert(VarChar(5), a.ApptStart, 108),'')as ApptTime,
